Carmel – Jessica Irvine announced her candidacy on January 30th for Carmel City Council in the newly drawn South Central District. Irvine is a Democrat who has lived in or near the Home Place area for over 30 years, which gives her a unique understanding of the district. 

With a bachelor's degree in Public Financial Management and a master’s degree in Environmental Policy and Sustainability from Indiana University O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Irvine is prioritizing environmental sustainability, smart development, and fiscal transparency. She currently serves as a Senior Environmental Manager for the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

She has served in executive leadership positions within civic organizations such as the Hamilton County Young Democrats and Carmel Democratic Club. Additionally, she has been an active volunteer for animal welfare organizations such as Indy Humane and the Humane Society of the United States.

“Carmel is a beautiful, vibrant, and safe city that attracts businesses and families from all around the world. To keep Carmel a top rated city, I would like to see green spaces preserved and bring new ideas to the council to enact environmentally friendly policies,” Irvine said. “We must be responsible stewards of our natural resources because our children and future generations depend on it.”

Irvine believes one way to advance the goals of environmental sustainability is to be thoughtful and intentional when making decisions about development. She plans to listen to her neighbors in the district and advocate for more investment in the South Central District. 

“I am fortunate and proud to have called Carmel home for the last 30 years. The education I received, the quality of life I was offered, and the community that surrounded me contributed to the woman I am today,” Irvine stated. “I am running to serve our neighbors on the Carmel City Council to give back to the community that has done so much for my family and me. I want to continue to grow and invest in Carmel in smart, efficient ways to ensure it is always a great place for Hoosiers to live and thrive.”

The millennial candidate currently lives with her partner Zach, their cats, Oliver and Oscar, and dog, Houston. Her entire family also lives in Carmel’s South Central District. 

The 2023 municipal primary election for Carmel City Council is in May and the general election is this November. To learn more about Irvine, visit www.irvineforcarmel.com.
