Indiana’s 4th District Congressman Jim Baird is pushing back against what he calls “disgusting and false attacks” from his opponents, while making it clear he has no plans to leave the political battlefield anytime soon.
“From my service as a two-time Purple Heart recipient and Vietnam veteran to my work in Congress, I have never wavered in my commitment to my community and my country,” Baird said. “I will continue that fight on the House floor to ensure the people of the 4th District have a strong voice in Washington.”
Baird pointed to recent visits from key Republican allies—including Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast—and upcoming appearances from Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith as proof of his continued leadership in the district.
“I have been the only Trump-endorsed candidate in the 4th District since 2018,” he added. “Every time I’ve sought his endorsement, he’s been there without hesitation.”
Baird brushed off the latest rumors about his future. “I know how to stay focused under fire. My mission remains serving the people of the 4th District and earning their support in 2026.”
State Rep. Craig Haggard declared earlier this week he would challenge Baird in the Republican primary.
