Eby announces candidacy for State Representative in District 69
June 2, 2022
I, Jeffrey L. Eby, announce my candidacy for State Representative in district 69. Any elected official requires leadership experience and financial experience. My leadership experience includes 30 years of active and reserve service in the Army National Guard as an intelligence officer retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. When deployed to Iraq, I worked with local leaders on issues facing a war-torn country and interceded with different factions in the community to find peaceful solutions. I also have a degree in finance and insurance and have managed an insurance business for 35 years.
During my deployment time, and the many church mission trips I went on, I realized how underrepresented people are all over the world. When I returned, I decided along with my wife and family that I needed to run for office to provide a voice for people in my community. My first experience was running as a constable. This position gave me the opportunity to train with law enforcement and maintain an army like brotherhood. After one term I decided to run for county commissioner. I have currently been a county commissioner for 8 years and have enjoyed providing leadership and solving problems in the community.
Cyrisse and I have raised our girls in this community, and it has provided an excellent public education for our girls. Both girls, Leiah and Leighton, attended college on scholarships and have begun successful careers in medicine. We are grateful for a strong public education system that provided the tools they needed to be successful. We are truly grateful for teachers who are dedicated and go the extra mile to make sure all students receive the education they need to be successful.
This next chapter in my life is running for state representative. One of my goals in life has been to represent constituents at the state level. As I have been campaigning, it has been an awesome experience meeting people and seeing some of the issues communities face. I have already met with business leaders in the community to find out exactly what issues they face and talk about ways the state can help their businesses grow and be competitive in the marketplace.
I will support legislation that promotes free speech. I will support legislation that continues to keep guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens. I will support legislation that gives babies the right to life at conception. I will support legislation that gives public education a top priority and raises teacher pay to be competitive in the marketplace. I will support legislation that gives medical freedom in the workplace, government and learning institutions.
I ask for your vote on August 4th, and I will commit to be a voice for everyone in this community and to fight for you at the state level.
