Bounds seeking Huntingburg City Council position in Precinct 2

Jeff Bounds announced his intentions to run as the Republican candidate to represent Huntingburg Precinct 2 in the upcoming May 5th primary election.

Bounds is involved in several governmental positions, currently serving as a Patoka Township Advisory Board member and also appointed by the mayor to serve on the City of Huntingburg’s Economic Development Commission.

He is a volunteer for the Teen Outback Youth Center in Huntingburg and has been in various leadership roles with booster organizations at Southridge High School.  Additionally, Jeff was involved with the “Yes for Southridge” referendum campaign that resulted in the needed renovations at Southridge High School in 2012.

Bounds says he supports the efforts of the current administration’s Stellar Community project and will work to see that all aspects of the project are implemented as planned.

He takes a conservative approach to taxes and  spending, while recognizing the importance of critical programs and services provided by city government.

A  life-long resident of Huntingburg, Jeff has been married to his wife DeAnna for 28 years, and has two daughters, Kaitlyn, 25, and Allison, 20.

One of seven siblings, he is the son of the late Jim and Mary Rose Bounds of Huntingburg.

He has been a self-employed investment advisor with Primerica Financial Services at the same location in Huntingburg for the past 31 years.

“I’ve had several opportunities to move, and even had satellite offices in Indianapolis and Evansville over the years but my Huntingburg roots have kept me here,” Bounds said. “There’s a strong sense of community in Huntingburg and that’s important to me. We raised our family here and plan to retire here.”
