Scott Burke for Wells County

03/29/2026

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I’m excited to announce that I am a Republican candidate for the Jefferson Township Advisory Board. My family has called Jefferson Township home for generations, and I am dedicated to preserving the quality of life that we’ve all created here.

**Ensuring Community Safety**
We must never compromise on safety! It is the absolute responsibility of elected officials to guarantee that our basic safety protections remain robust and effective. Our community deserves to feel secure in their homes, and I will work tirelessly to ensure these protections are prioritized.

**Protecting Our Tax Rate**
Another top priority is to maintain our below-average tax rate of **$1.28 per $100 AV**. This low tax rate is not just a number; it represents the financial relief that allows families and businesses to thrive. I will advocate for responsible budgeting and oversight, ensuring that tax dollars are spent wisely while still providing the essential services our community relies on.

**Community Involvement**
Since the 1960’s my family has had close ties to the community through small business. I have witnessed firsthand the strength of our community spirit and the importance of bringing us together to celebrate our shared success and values.

Together, we can continue to build a safe, and economically vibrant Jefferson Township. I would be honored to earn your support.

**Vote for (R)Scott Burke for Jefferson Township Advisory Board on May 5 —let's keep our community strong and our tax rate low!**

Thank you for your consideration!

An agenda of destruction to forward a cause has unfortunately become the standard today. Even in Wells County.

The reality is, we speak for the vast majority of the people. The attitude in Washington has changed as well. Industrial scale solar’s days are numbered. Destroying our values and traditions by means of a government handout, will not stand in Wells County.

This morning 6/12 on Glen Beck. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) on legislation being added to the Big Beautiful Bill repealing climate agenda subsidies.

‘… when the house and senate democrats passed the green new scam.. they did it without a single Republican vote. And they did that to incorporate sort of their climate agenda religion into our national ethos. They did that without a single Republican vote, and we shouldn’t have a single Republican voting to extend those, and that’s why we’re getting rid of them. Those things create market distortions. They change incentives in a way that makes us more vulnerable with our energy grid. Things that result in irrational, inefficient decisions, that’s why we’re getting rid of all of it.’

Not the outcome I was hoping for today. But over 3000 people did show their support, and for that, I am grateful.

The foundation is set, and I will be gathering the energy and resources for the next round.

Thanks again to everyone that voted!

Todd Rokita has it right! We need more of him in Indiana.

🚨We are co-leading a 25-state coalition with the Office of West Virginia Attorney General to fight the Biden-Harris “green new deal” that would drive up utility costs on everyday Hoosiers and kill our jobs. The EPA’s war on coal-fired power plants is an attack on our economy and we won't stand for it.

You heard it straight from the top! The real attitude behind the agenda that’s trying to swindle its way into our community. ‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his (Trump’s) supporters.’

The CNBC story below further highlights the stance promoters of Build Back Better and The New Green Deal have taken against our way of life.

Indiana ranks 2nd in America’s 10 worst states for quality of life, according to them. They site, lack of child care, reproductive rights, inclusiveness and voting rights.

If they mean we believe in family values and morals, the right to life and preventing fraud in our election process, then I guess they are right!? Indiana should be 2nd BEST overall!

Next Tuesday, we have the opportunity to make our voices heard. Let’s stand together to support our 100-year homesteads that have fed the world. Let’s stand up for generations of hard working people and their dedication and commitment that has built a strong foundation for our community.

These 10 U.S. states are letting residents down on quality of life, with high crime, environmental problems and lack of legal protections.
