AH-Challenge: President Harrison "Indy" Ford

Inspired by this map by Whanztastic I challenge you to find a way to make Harrison Ford take over one of the two highest offices the US of A has to offer: Vice President or the real deal, of course for the Democrats. But here is the tricky part: The POD has to be after May 24, 1989, the day Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was released.

Bonus points are granted when a) Ford begins his rise as a governor of a US-state other than California, b) Harrison still is acting after his presidency, c) Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull is never made, even though better Indy movies are still possible and finally d) he serves for more than a single term.
Of course c) is only possible if b) is also happening ;)


Now everybody, work your (industrial light and) magic!
 
I don't have a plan, but I have an idea. Have a disaster occur in the Yellowstone area-plane crash, fire, earthquake, almost anything will do (not the supervolcano, though... and The Yellowstone Fires of 1988 would be too late...). Among those mobilized to help will be Teton County Search and Rescue. Harrison Ford is a volunteer with them. (IRL he's found at least two missing people.) Having Harrison Ford save someone's life is definitely a big story.

And, with a residence in Wyoming, he can be considered as living there. (Thank you Dick Cheney...)
