Joe Jahner

Joe Jahner and his wife, Danielle, live in the Town of East Troy and are proudly raising their young son who will attend East Troy Public School. Joe was compelled to serve his country as a young man, joining the Army National Guard where he served for eight years as an Information Technology Specialist from 2009 to 2017. While in the Army National Guard Joe earned numerous awards including the International Defense Service Medal, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, and the North Dakota Emergency Service Ribbon. Joe began developing his career as a professional database and controls engineer in parallel to his honorable service with the Army National Guard and Joe currently works for Allan Integrated Control Systems in East Troy as a Controls Engineer.

Joe strongly believes the government should serve "We the People." Joe is running for East Troy Town supervisor because he wants to expand citizen participation and help focus the board’s work on serving the citizens of the town. In Joe’s words, “We need to engage the public, make sure they feel welcome, and include their input in everything we do as a board.” Joe will apply the leadership skills he developed both in the military and in the private sector to influence and drive the board’s transparency and responsiveness.

Joe’s authentic, honest, and hardworking character traits together with his real-world common sense, developed as a young man from an agricultural rural community, are front and center when evaluating any important decision. Joe wants to put his decision-making skills to work for the Town of East Troy.

Joe’s objective as supervisor is to increase citizen involvement and improve town board/employee interactions with the public. He will consider all opinions and vote based on what fosters individual freedoms while always weighing community safety and welfare. Joe strongly believes his highest impact on fostering the American Dream for his children is to get involved at the local level. Joe will promote term limits on all government officials because he believes it best serves the community and provides the best chance for the government to remain focused on the citizens. Joe will work hard at establishing a “For the People and by the People” mentality on the Town Board. Joe believes local business growth strengthens our community, while also allowing East Troy to maintain its small-town charm.
