An aide to U.S. Senator Todd Young is announcing his run for the State Senate to replace Jon Ford.
Greg Goode announced Monday that he is running for the spot.
Goode is currently Young’s State Director. Prior to that, he was the government affairs director at Indiana State University.
Goode has the endorsements of Ford, as well as Representatives Bob Heaton and Alan Morrison as well as Vigo Republican County Chairman Randy Gentry.
“Today, I am announcing that I will respectfully seek the opportunity to succeed Senator Ford and continue his service as State Senator for Indiana’s 38th Senate District. I do so with a sense of duty to our district’s residents and a commitment to upholding the exceptional legacy of leadership standards set by Senator Ford. While Senator Ford is truly irreplaceable, I believe Vigo, Clay, and Sullivan Counties deserve a public servant who will sustain his approach to governance and public service,, Goode stated. “I will do exactly that, and I am deeply grateful for the support and endorsements provided to me by Senator Ford, Representatives Bob Heaton and Alan Morrison, and Republican Chairman Randy Gentry.”
Ford is slated to resign on October 16.
