“Throughout his time in the Indiana General Assembly, Senator J.D. Ford has been a strong and consistent supporter of professional firefighters,” PAC Chairman Cody Leever said. “His leadership and work on legislation impacting our profession, particularly his role in the 2023 police and fire merit system legislation, have had a meaningful and lasting impact on our members and departments across the state. Having worked with him, we know that he is willing to listen thoughtfully and carefully consider issues that affect the delivery of fire and emergency medical services, as well as the well-being of first responders.”

J.D. Ford is running for Congress in Indiana's 5th Congressional District. He is running against incumbent Republican Congresswoman Victoria Spartz to flip this critical seat. When elected, J.D. will become the first openly LGBTQ person to represent Indiana at the federal level.
