“I’m honored and grateful for the support of our friends and neighbors,” said Ford. “It’s clear that Hoosiers in the 5th District are ready for new representation, someone who will go to Washington to lower everyday costs, fix our broken healthcare system and fight corruption. In Congress, unlike my opponent, I’ll actually work on committees, stand up for Hoosier families, and reach across the aisle to get results for the 5th District.”

This strong fundraising quarter is another sign that this seat is competitive. It comes on the heels of Cook Political Report’s and Fox News’ latest updates on their national election ratings, moving Indiana’s 5th Congressional District in Ford’s favor.
