FORT WAYNE – On Monday, conservative Tim Smith launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for Indiana’s 3rd Congressional District.
Smith is a father, grandfather, husband, businessman, community servant and Christian conservative running to preserve America’s freedoms and principles from the radical left’s woke ideologies, according to a news release from his campaign.
“In Congress, I will put a stop to the radical left’s agenda that is threatening the very freedoms that we value as Americans. I’ll fight for our values, the lives of unborn children, secure our Southern border, uphold law and order and expose government waste, fraud and abuse,” Smith said. “My focus will be to end wokeness and expand freedom.”
“We’ve seen the power of an outsider in office – someone who will fight for the people. It’s the difference between unprecedented economic prosperity and securing our nation, and what we see now – what we have now: inflation, rising crime and global uncertainty,” he continued in his news release.
Born in Fort Wayne and raised in New Haven, Smith is the son of a farmer and preacher. After graduating from New Haven High School and IPFW (Purdue Fort Wayne), he attended IU McKinney School of Law while working full-time and starting a family. Upon admission to the Indiana Bar, Tim, his wife Angela and their children moved back to Fort Wayne where he spent over 25 years helping to lead one of Indiana’s largest companies, the release states. Today, Smith is the chief executive officer of Indiana’s largest, Christ-centered family services provider, fighting to protect children and lift up families, according to the release.
