Meet Jack
Jack Chance is a lifelong Hoosier who grew up in Tipton and now calls Kokomo home. Raised in a working-class family, Jack learned early what it meant to stretch a paycheck, lean on neighbors, and keep going even when life got tough. He grew up showing animals in 4-H, working entry-level jobs, and watching his mother juggle long hours just to keep the lights on and groceries in the house. Those experiences taught him humility, perseverance, and the belief that every Hoosier deserves a fair shot.
After graduating from Tipton High School, Jack pursued pastoral studies and helped launch an outreach serving people experiencing homelessness. That work shaped his conviction that faith is not a tool for exclusion; it’s a call to service. A verse that continues to guide him is simple: “Whatever you do to the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you do to me.”
Jack has worn many hats: fast-food worker, dock loader, welder, insurance claims helper, and property manager. In 2020, he stepped into housing management, where he saw firsthand how Indiana’s broken housing system leaves far too many seniors, families, and working people vulnerable. In two years managing a HUD-regulated community, he helped achieve zero evictions, proving that fair, compassionate management keeps communities stable and strong.
Today, Jack works with a nonprofit housing organization in Indianapolis, focusing on senior and low-income residents. His job isn’t about corporate profits; it’s about people. It’s about making sure someone’s mother or grandfather has heat in the winter, AC in the summer, working appliances, and a safe place to call home. That work shaped a central part of his platform: the Fair Hoosier Housing Act, a balanced, common-sense plan to protect renters, support good landlords, and stabilize Indiana communities.
Jack’s commitment to service extends beyond housing. He has helped lead food drives, winter coat drives, and volunteered on a team that built a classroom for youth needing a fresh start. He’s marched for civil rights, stood with small businesses, and fought for a more compassionate and fair Indiana. In 2021, he served on the Indiana Apartment Association’s recruitment committee, bringing a needed renter-focused and working-class perspective to the table.
Jack is running for State Representative in House District 30, covering much of Kokomo and the surrounding communities, because he believes Hoosiers deserve a government that works for them, not for the well-connected. He’s running to make sure renters, workers, seniors, young families, and everyday people have someone in their corner.
Jack doesn’t believe in politics as a blood sport. He believes in neighbors helping neighbors. He believes in fairness, dignity, and rolling up our sleeves to build something better.
This campaign isn’t about partisanship; it’s about people.
