 JUSTIN ELPERS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE VANDERBURGH COUNTY COMMISSION

Yesterday Evansville 5th Ward City City Councilman Justin Elpers officially announced that he’s a candidate for the Vanderburgh County Commission. Mr. Elpers is currently serving his second term as Evansville 5th Ward Republican City Councilman.

Elpers was elected to City Council during the municipal elections of 2015. The 5th Ward City Council position was previously held by a Democrat, John Friend. CPA.

The 5th Councilmatic ward is probably the city’s most sought-after ward by both political parties. Elpers won by a whopping 63% of the vote over his opponent in 2015 and handly won a recent re-election bid.

Justin stated that “Evansville has always been home,” says Elpers. He and his supportive wife Alison have been married for 16 years and they have five sons and one girl. Justin was accompanied by his wife Alison and their six children James, Patrick, Charlie, Anni, Zack, & Louis along with numerous friends and supporters.

At the announcement, Elpers stated “if elected as County  Commissioner he would continue to be a strong advocate for job growth, support our local law enforcement, and improve upon the quality of life projects in the county”.

Justin also told the gather that attended his announcement, “I will continue to face our community challenges with an open mind. Bottom line we have to improve our current health care costs and reduce spending”

Mr. Elper is known for his strong Catholic faith and religious principles. Councilman Elpers often cites the Indiana Constitution. In particular, he cites Article1, Sections 2 and 3. Article2 states every citizen has a right to worship God, according to the dictates of their own consciences while Article 3 states no law shall control the free exercise and enjoyment of religious opinions, or interfere with the rights of conscience, or violates individual liberties.

The commissioner position is currently held by Jeff Hatfield (D) who in early 2021 decided not to run for reelection.
