Jefferson Scott Shreve (born September 24, 1965)[1] is an American politician from the state of Indiana.[2][3] A member of the Republican Party, he previously served on the Indianapolis City-County Council from 2013 until 2016 for district 23 and again from 2018 until 2020 for district 16.

Early life and career

[edit]

Shreve is from the University Heights neighborhood in Indianapolis.[4] Shreve earned his Bachelor of Arts from Indiana University, Bloomington, a Master of Arts in international studies from the University of London, and his Master of Business Administration in agribusiness from the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University.[5][6]

Shreve founded Storage Express, which he sold in 2022 to Extra Space Storage for $590 million. He also received a seat on the company's board of directors.[4][7][8]

Political career

[edit]

In 2013, Shreve was appointed to the Indianapolis City Council after incumbent Jeff Cardwell resigned to serve in Indiana Governor Mike Pence's administration.[9] In 2018, Shreve was appointed to the city council again when incumbent Jeff Miller resigned after pleading guilty to four felonies.[10][11] In 2016, Shreve ran for the Indiana Senate in the 36th district.[12] He lost the primary to Jack Sandlin by 2.61%.[13][14] In 2018, Shreve was a candidate for Indiana University trustee.[15]

Shreve announced his candidacy for mayor of Indianapolis in the 2023 election.[16] However, he lost the election to incumbent Joe Hogsett.[17] During his run for Mayor, Shreve called for banning assault weapon sales, repealing permitless carry in Indiana, and raising the legal age to purchase a gun from 18 to 21.[18] His stance led him to get an F rating from the NRA Political Victory Fund.[19][20]

Shreve announced his candidacy for Indiana's 6th congressional district in 2024.[21] He won the primary in May 2024, defeating a field of Republican candidates that included Mike Speedy, Jeff Raatz, Bill Frazier, and John Jacob.[22][23] Shreve was elected as a member of Congress for Indiana's 6th congressional district.[24][25]

Shreve considers himself a moderate Republican.[26]
