About Jim
My name is Jim Lucas and I am running for State Representative for District 69. I am 47 years old, a native and lifelong resident of Seymour, IN. I have been married to my wonderful wife Lynn for 18 years and we have 3 beautiful children, Suzanne, Jack & Maddie. I am a lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, graduated from Seymour High School, veteran of the United States Marine Corps, a small business owner of The Awning Guy, Inc. for 13 years, Benefactor Member of the NRA, Life Member of the GOA, and member of the Seymour American Legion and Elk’s Club. I am currently serving my second term on Seymour City Council and sit on the Seymour Redevelopment Committee, Board of Directors for the Jackson County Learning Center and Seymour Main Street Economic Redevelopment Committee.
My career in politics started after I began attending city council meetings and became dissatisfied with some of the decisions not being made by our local government. To survive as a small business owner, I am constantly subjected to accountability and efficiency, and I couldn’t understand why these same principles weren’t always being applied by our elected officials. I have been taught that the best way to affect something that I believed wrong was to get involved, so I got involved. I ran for and was elected to city council in 2008 and was recently re-elected to a second term.
While serving on city council, it became apparent that one voice speaking out from within against waste and inefficiency can make a significant difference in how our tax dollars are spent. I am a firm believer in individual liberty, less, but common sense regulation, a smaller, more efficient government, truly free markets protected by law, and personal and fiscal responsibility as the solution to our problems.
This campaign is going to be a great chance to share ideas with people throughout the district and I look forward to meeting as many people as possible. Hard work, ensuring that our individual rights and freedoms are protected and holding government accountable to the people are ethics that I want to take to Indianapolis as I ask to be your next State Representative of District 69.
Thank You!
