My name is Mark Snapp, democrat candidate for County Council District 3. I currently reside one mile west of Vandalia with my wife, Nancy. We've lived here 43 years, raised two children, Stephanie and David, who graduated from Owen Valley and have degrees from ISU and Rose Hulman, respectively. Nancy is a retired educator, having 37 years in the field with 32 of those years in the Spencer-Owen schools. We attend Shiloh Wesley Chapel in Owen County.

My experience in the political realm includes over thirty years as precinct committeeman and vice-committeeman in both Lafayette and Morgan townships. I have also served two 4-year terms on the Owen County Council.

My involvement in the community arena includes serving on the board of the Vandalia Community Preservation Association as past president and as a member for over 25 years. While working for Area 10 Agency on Aging, I was placed in charge of Rural Transit operations in Owen County for several years while also being assigned a driver route, volunteering many hours of time chauffeuring our senior citizens. I presently serve on the Farm Bureau Board, volunteering at the Owen County Fair as well as contributing yearly to the 4-H Council. I also have experience in the business field, owning and operating the former Main Street Antique Store in downtown Spencer.

My well-rounded experiences in the community, including 8 years as a County Councilman, will serve me well as the District 3 representative. With over 60 years of roots in this community, I offer the stability and dedication needed to move us forward.

If elected, I will ensure every tax dollar is spent wisely to modernize our infrastructure and pave the way for Owen County's future. I want everyone to know that I've dedicated my labor, my resources, and my heart into this beautiful county and plan to continue as long as I am able.

I would greatly appreciate your support!
