Meet Jack
Jack Chance is a lifelong Hoosier who grew up in Tipton and now lives in Kokomo. Raised in a working-class family, Jack learned early what it means to stretch a paycheck, lean on your neighbors, and keep going even when things are 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 food on the table.
After graduating from Tipton High School, Jack studied ministry at a Bible college, where he helped launch a small outreach serving people experiencing homelessness. That experience sparked a lifelong belief: that public service isn’t about titles—it’s about showing up for people in need. A verse that continues to shape his life is simple: “Whatever you do to the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you do to me.”
Jack has worn many hats over the years—fast food worker, dock loader, welder, insurance claims helper, and property manager. In 2020, he began managing a for-profit apartment complex in Kokomo. He worked hard to treat residents with fairness and dignity, but saw firsthand how corporate priorities often pushed people to the margins. In 2023, he made the decision to leave the for-profit sector and join a nonprofit housing organization—so he could focus on helping people, not just collecting rent.
His commitment to service extends beyond housing. Jack has helped organize food and coat drives, joined neighborhood cleanups, and volunteered on a team that built a classroom for youth in need of a second chance. He’s marched for civil rights and stood with small businesses. In 2021, he served on the Indiana Apartment Association’s recruitment committee, bringing a renter-focused perspective to the conversation.
Jack is running for State Representative in District 30 not because he has all the answers, but because he’s lived many of the same struggles his neighbors face. He’s running to make sure working people, renters, and everyday Hoosiers have someone in their corner. This campaign isn’t about partisanship—it’s about people. It’s about building A Better Indiana, together.
