Jim Baird Running for Re-Election

Indiana’s 4th District – Congressman Jim Baird, a highly decorated Vietnam War hero and two-time Purple Heart recipient who lost his arm fighting socialism and communism, is answering back to “disgusting and false attacks” from his opponents — and reaffirming his unwavering commitment to serve.

“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.”

That strong voice in Washington stems from real results—just this year, Baird has brought powerful congressional allies into the district, including Foreign Affairs Chairman Rep. Brian Mast. In the near future, Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan and Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Jason Smith will visit to reinforce his leadership and advocacy efforts.

“I have been the only Trump-endorsed candidate in the 4th District since 2018. Every time I have sought his endorsement, from 2018 through 2024, he has stepped up without hesitation. As a two-time Purple Heart recipient and Vietnam veteran, I understand the importance of completing every mission we start.”

Baird condemned the baseless attacks from his challenger. “Three years ago, my opponent was quoted by donors, stating I had only 18 months to live — a disgraceful lie. Now he says I’m retiring. What will he say next? As a two-time Purple Heart recipient and Vietnam veteran, I know how to stay focused under fire. I will not be distracted by political games. My mission remains serving the people of the 4th District and earning their support in 2026.” “I fought socialism and communism abroad, and I will fight them here at home. That’s the oath I took as a two-time Purple Heart recipient and Vietnam veteran, and it’s a promise I will keep to my constituents.”
