”Hello, Everyone! I am Jackson Franklin, and I’m passionate about serving my community, both in uniform and as your future congressman for meaningful change. Allow me to tell you about myself and what I stand for. As a Staff Sergeant in the Indiana Army National Guard, I’ve served as a combat medic for 6 years and went overseas to Kosovo in 2023. As a Paramedic, I have had the great honor and pleasure of protecting the health of those within our community. I have assisted in several local campaigns and have been the policy advisor for previous congressional campaigns. I am originally from Albany, which is a small town just outside Muncie, IN, but have lived in Muncie on and off for a few years now, when not being away for the military.

I have been greatly inspired by the likes of Bernie Sanders and others in the progressive movement to champion policies that prioritize fairness, equality, and opportunity for all. I believe in fighting for healthcare as a human right, investing in education, fighting against corruption, and ensuring that every voice is heard. That is why I have pledged never to take any big donor money and will fight the political establishment to end corruption in this country. This campaign is committed to real change that benefits all of us, not just the wealthy.

Together, we can create a brighter future for our nation, and with your help, we will get it done!”
