crisler-announces-shelby-county-council-campaign
David Crisler has announced his campaign seeking one of the Shelby County Council At-Large seats, running as a Republican in the Primary Election.
Crisler (photo, left, with Jeff Sponsel) and his wife, Angela, have been residents of Hendricks Township since 2018. One of their sons is a 2020 graduate of Triton Central High School, and their youngest son is currently a junior at the Fairland school.
In addition to those two sons, the couple have three other children. Their son, Daniel, is currently a Lieutenant in the Indiana National Guard and a firefighter with the Shelbyville Fire Department.
Crisler is the Department Chair at Ivy Tech Community College, overseeing the Homeland Security/Public Safety Program at the Indianapolis campus, as well as being the Lead Chair of the statewide Homeland Security/Public Safety Curriculum Committee. Before his employment with Ivy Tech, Crisler retired from a 24-year career in law enforcement in Central Indiana.
Crisler also had a 28-year career as a high school football coach, serving as an assistant coach at several schools during that time. He also worked as a part-time school police officer in the past.
He and his family currently attend Mt. Pleasant Christian Church in the Greenwood area, where they have been members since 1998. During their time at the church, David and his wife have served in several different ministry areas.
Crisler hopes to bring a new level of transparency to Shelby County Government, and believes that this will provide better communication between those in government and their constituents. He also believes that Shelby County could be a destination for all types of growth, while still maintaining and respecting its farming and manufacturing roots.
“I look forward to serving the citizens and businesses of Shelby County in a purposeful, thoughtful, and effective way so that Shelby County can reach its full potential in several areas,” said Crisler.
