When it comes to local government, the decisions made closest to home have the biggest impact on our daily lives. That is why our Ripley County Township Trustees and Board Members are so vital. Serving across all 10 of our unique townships—Adams, Brown, Center, Delaware, Jackson, Johnson, Laughery, Creek, Shelby, and Washington—these grassroots leaders serve as the frontline watchdogs for our communities.
From historic Michigan Road in Napoleon and the bustling commerce of Batesville and Sunman to the limestone heritage of Osgood, the courthouse pride of Versailles, and the beautiful rolling family farms of Cross Plains, Holton, and Rexville, our townships represent the best of conservative Hoosier values.
What Your Township Government Does For You:
• Emergency Protection: They negotiate and fund vital fire protection contracts to keep our rural homes and families safe.
• Fiscal Oversight: The Township Boards serve as your financial watchdogs, approving lean budgets and keeping local tax rates low.
• Preserving History: They handle the essential care and maintenance of our historic local pioneer cemeteries.
• Grassroots Aid: They administer localized temporary emergency relief directly to neighbors facing unexpected hardships.
Government works best when it is kept small, efficient, and accountable to the people. Our local Republican Township candidates live right down the road from you, understand our rural way of life, and are committed to managing your hard-earned tax dollars with absolute integrity.
This election, let’s protect our rural heritage, support our volunteer first responders, and keep our local communities strong from the roots up. Flip over your ballot, find your township lines, and vote a straight Republican ticket.
