J.D. Ford
Nothing located has Ford taking a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. In a state-era candidate survey he marked "Disagree" against supporting the boycott movement, and as a state senator he co-authored a 2023 resolution honoring Israel’s 75th anniversary.
Ford is the Democratic nominee in Indiana’s 5th District, a state senator since 2018 who launched his congressional run in January 2026.
His located record predates this race and is thin: in a state-senate-era candidate survey he marked "Disagree" against the statement supporting the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement (verified on the page), and in March 2023 he co-authored an Indiana Senate resolution recognizing Israel’s 75th anniversary, a state ceremonial act. Neither reaches U.S. aid, weapons, or funding questions.
His campaign site carries nothing in scope, and his launch coverage runs on domestic themes. Ask Ford directly and send us the reply: it goes on this page in his own words.
