I’m Jay Murphy, and I am running for Crown Point City Council At Large. My wife and I have been married for 24 years, and we are blessed with 4 children. Our son a 2021 graduate of Crown Point High School currently serving in the United States Marine Corps. And our 3 other children are all currently enrolled in Crown Point Schools. We moved to Crown Point in 2007 after serving for 10 years on active duty in the United States Air Force.
In 2020 I was honored to become part of the Crown Point GOP leadership team. I had an instrumental role in planning and organizing the Freedom Rally in September of 2020. Since then, I have been a poll worker and poll watcher. I have been active in monthly meetings and actively engaging with Crown Point residents.
So why am I running for city council? The answer is easy; I love this city, and I want to serve it. I want to have a voice on how and why decisions are being made to ensure the best outcome for the residents. I hope to bring transparency, accountability, and a general overall commitment to the well-being of our community. I would be a fresh set of eyes to ensure fiscal responsibility and explore cost saving opportunities. I will be an active listener of community concerns so I can be a voice for them. While keeping our city an amazing place to live and raise a family. My time in the military has instilled in me a profound sense of duty and integrity, values that I will carry with me as I serve. I will always be accessible and accountable to the residents, and I aim to collaborate with the mayor and fellow council members to ensure the best outcome for our city.
