A Letter From Jeb

Thanks for stopping by my campaign website.

In July 2022, I stepped into the role of Wayne Township Trustee during a challenging time, after the previous Trustee and Fire Chief were removed from office. From day one, my focus has been simple: rebuild trust, increase transparency, and make sure our township’s finances are back on track.

Since then, we’ve made real progress. I brought in a new Fire Chief and created a Human Resources Director position to help build a stronger, more professional township team. We streamlined office space, reduced non-emergency staffing, and found smarter ways to save taxpayer dollars, whether that meant renegotiating contracts, switching vendors, or refurbishing equipment instead of replacing it.

At the Fire Department, we’ve continued delivering top-quality service while being more efficient. We reduced administrative overhead, sold off non-essential vehicles and equipment, and partnered with the city to merge EMS services—saving millions each year.

At the same time, we’ve expanded services for our community. We introduced walk-in appointments, raised eligibility thresholds for assistance, and added a 24/7 drop-off box for convenience. We now offer vouchers for school clothes, diapers, and feminine hygiene products. Through partnerships with local organizations, we host food giveaways, car seat clinics, neighborhood clean-ups, legal aid clinics, veterans’ assistance days and community events—and provide free pet food, gun locks, and Narcan through overdose rescue boxes across the township.

We’ve also made important safety investments. Baby Boxes are now available at all five fire stations, and new technology at major intersections allows fire trucks to control traffic signals, helping reduce response times and improving safety.

I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together. By focusing on innovation, accountability, and service, we’ve made meaningful improvements and addressed past challenges. But there’s more work ahead. With new legislation from the Indiana General Assembly, we’ll face additional budget cuts—and it will take continued effort to maintain the level of service our community deserves.

I’m committed to continuing this work and building an even stronger Wayne Township. I respectfully ask for your support and your vote as I run for re-election in November 2026.
