Jed is a 5th generation resident of Kendall County. He married his high school sweetheart, Melissa, over 24 years ago and together they have four children and one grandchild. They currently live in Newark. He graduated from Lisbon Grade School, Newark High School, and ultimately Valparaiso University with a degree in civil engineering.
Jed and Melissa are also passionate foster parents, opening their home to several children over the years. This experience has profoundly shaped Jed’s understanding of the challenges facing families, strengthening his resolve for policies protecting parental rights and providing every child with opportunities to thrive.
Jed firmly believes in local government and the freedom of local boards to direct the institutions they represent without overreach from state agencies or officials. This belief is far from our current reality and it’s time we the people reclaim our communities and schools.
Jed has served as board president of Parkview Christian Academy in Yorkville from 2010 to 2023, proudly leading the charge against the out-of-bounds leadership of Governor Pritzker and the Illinois State Board of Education.
Jed values family, finances, and freedom. All three are indispensable to his daily life and he’ll defend them with his dying breath, ensuring they remain strong for future generations.
