Ben Ruiz, a Moderate Conservative, served as a 2024 Indiana Republican Convention Delegate for the GOP and now holds the position of Vice Precinct Committeeman. Formerly a small business owner working as an advertising and marketing distribution contractor, he is married and the father of six children.

Since 2016, Ben has been involved in Northwest Indiana politics, and his leadership in pro-American activism has helped shift how the GOP is viewed within local communities.

He has brought together Hispanic and Latino conservatives in northwest Indiana’s conservative movement, pushing back against anti-American protests in typically liberal, Democrat-held areas. By leading counter-demonstration rallies against socialist and gender ideology groups brought in from nearby communities and Chicago, he has also supported local Republican candidates who champion an America First policy.
