Jared Villella is running for the Warren City Council in the May 18 Republican Party primary.

Villella has been involved with the Warren County Republican Committee and Warren County Young Republicans since 2017, while serving as Chair of the WCYR for the last three years. He has gained unique insights into the needs and issues of city residents through his involvement in the community and local Republican Party organizations.

“I’ve knocked on thousands of doors in the city during the past four election cycles for other Republican candidates, listening to the problems our citizens are facing. Those conversations are what made me decide to run for City Council. I am prepared to continue working hard for, and listening to, the citizens of the City of Warren to effect positive change,” Villella said.

Villella started working in Warren in 2003 and has lived in the city with his wife and daughter since 2007. His 18-year career in marketing has been spent at two locally owned companies. He is a graduate of the Dale Carnegie and Center for Creative Leadership programs. He has been with Whirley-DrinkWorks! for the past 14 years, holding the position of Marketing Team Leader since 2017.

“The only way to keep Warren strong and well positioned for the future is by working to get more citizens involved in the conversation,” Villella said.

Villella feels that any successful plan to implement change starts with a solid foundation. He has focused his campaign around safety, growth and accountability.

“It is my commitment to you that if elected I will always work to ensure the citizens of the City of Warren remain safe, have opportunities for personal and professional growth and that their tax money isn’t spent unnecessarily,” he said.

The primary election on May 18 is the opportunity for voters to select which three Republicans will best represent them in the general election in the Fall.

“I’m fourth on the ballot, and humbly ask for your vote in the primary election,” he said, because “local elections have a tremendous impact on our everyday lives.”
