About Jimmy Ford

Jimmy Ford: One of Us, Working for Us

Jimmy Ford has called the region home for nearly 42 years. Raised in a military family near Scott Air Force Base, he learned the values of hard work, discipline, and service early in life. As the owner of a repossession business, Jimmy knows firsthand the struggles working families and small businesses face.

But he’s also proven that leadership is about heart, when an elderly couple faced losing their car, Jimmy stepped up and raised thousands to help them. His compassion made national headlines, featured on NBC’s Today Show, and across the country.

Community Leadership

• Father of three, lifelong resident of O’Fallon

• Small-business owner and job creator

• First Officer/diver with O’Fallon’s Underwater Search & Recovery Team

• Longtime fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois, raising tens of thousands of dollars through creative events like “Let’s Go to Jail”

Jimmy is not a politician. He’s one of us, a neighbor, a father, and a fighter ready to stand up for our community.
