Candidate for Township Trustee

Jeremy “Echo” Ensminger

“I meet people where they are. Not where society says they should be.”

A lifelong Indiana resident and community advocate committed to making sure neighbors can find help when they need it.

Known to friends and neighbors as Echo, Jeremy has spent his adult life in Indiana, nearly all of it in Marion. He brings a career in health care and service to his campaign, grounded in the belief that people deserve to be treated with dignity and never sent away without someone trying to help.

Jeremy earned an Associate of Science in Healthcare Support from Ivy Tech Community College’s Marion campus, with specializations in phlebotomy and dementia care. He also studied through the University of Cincinnati’s Cancer Registry Management program and earned his Oncology Data Specialist certification through the National Cancer Registrars Association.

Jeremy has worked in plasma donation as a phlebotomist and as a member of the quality unit, and he has also worked as an oncology data specialist. He is currently dedicating all of his energy to his campaign for Center Township Trustee.

He is Vice Chair of the Grant County Democratic Party and President of the Brinker Heights Neighborhood Association. Jeremy is running because too many people are hurting, and many do not even know the township trustee’s office may be able to help. His commitment is simple: meet people where they are, listen to what they need, and make sure no one leaves completely empty-handed.
