Nicole Cox announces re-election campaign for Marshall County Council, District 3

Nicole Cox is excited to announce her candidacy for re-election to the Marshall County Council in District 3, running in the upcoming Republican primary.

Nicole is the daughter of Doris Barden and the late Danny Barden of LaPaz. A 1996 graduate of LaVille High School, she earned her bachelor’s degree from Indiana University South Bend in 2000. In 2001, she married her high school sweetheart, Jeremy Cox. Jeremy has worked as a financial advisor and Medicare specialist for the past 22 years. Together, they live on a small hobby farm in North Township with their four children, ages 11 to 19.

After college, Nicole spent seven wonderful years working at Pulse FM before choosing to stay home and raise her growing family. As her children became involved in the local 4-H program, Nicole found a passion for community involvement. For the past eight years, she has served as a dedicated 4-H Volunteer and currently leads the Polk Boosters 4-H Club. She also serves on the countywide 4-H Council.

The Cox family are active members of Cornerstone Community Fellowship Church in LaPaz, where they participate in various ministries — even helping clean the church together as a family.

Politically, Nicole is a committed conservative who stands firmly for the Right to Life, the Second Amendment, and limited government. She believes that government should remain as small and local as possible, ensuring that the voices of Marshall County residents are always heard.

During her time on the County Council, Nicole has demonstrated leadership and fiscal responsibility:

• Spoke out against industrial solar developments that were not a good fit for Marshall County.

• Opposed the Marshall County Regional Sewer District after research showed it was not economically feasible, fair, or reasonable.

• Stood against the North Township Fire Territory proposal, citing concerns over financial responsibility and increased property taxes affecting local farmers.

• Helped pass a balanced, responsible county budget the last three years.

• Served on the subcommittee that created the Public Safety Grant, providing $500,000 in funding to support Fire and EMS services without raising taxes.

“I believe we need leaders who have the passion, the courage, and the determination to stand firm on our conservative values and principles,” Cox said. “We need leaders who will listen, work hard, and serve the people of Marshall County with integrity and common sense.”

Nicole Cox looks forward to continuing her service on the Marshall County Council and humbly asks for your support in the Republican primary.
