In a news release, Ford announced he will resign from his seat in the Indiana Senate effective Oct. 16, 2023, in order to pursue new professional endeavors. Ford has served in the Senate since 2014.
“One of the greatest honors of my life has been serving the residents of Senate District 38,” Ford said. “I am thankful for the people of Vigo, Clay and Sullivan counties for trusting me in casting important votes on their behalf for nearly a decade. Through my time in public service, I have met numerous people who aim to make the Wabash Valley and Indiana a better place to raise a family.”
During his tenure in the Senate Ford has worked on supporting foster families, gaming expansion and securing elections.
Ford currently represents Vigo and Clay counties and a portion of Sullivan County. During his tenure, he has served as chairman of the Senate Committee on Elections, ranking member of the Senate Committee on Family and Children Services and as a member of the Senate Committees on Appropriations, Public Policy, Veterans and The Military, Homeland Security and Transportation, and Judiciary.
