Jefferson Scott Shreve (born 1965/1966) is an American politician from the state of Indiana.[2][3] A member of the Republican Party, he previously served on the Indianapolis City-County Council from 2013 until 2016 for district 23 and again from 2018 until 2020 for district 16. Shreve founded Storage Express, which he sold in 2022 to Extra Space Storage for $590 million, also receiving a seat on the company's board of directors.[4][5][6]

Early life and education[edit]

Shreve is from University Heights, Indianapolis.[4] Shreve earned his BA from Indiana University, Bloomington, a MA in international studies from the University of London, and his MBA in agribusiness from the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University.[7][8]

Political career[edit]

In 2013, he was appointed to the City Council after incumbent Jeff Cardwell resigned to serve in Governor Mike Pence's administration.[9] In 2018, Shreve was appointed to the city council again when incumbent Jeff Miller resigned after pleading guilty to four felonies.[10][11] In 2016, Shreve ran for the Indiana Senate in the 36th district.[12] He lost the primary to Jack Sandlin by 2.61%.[13][14] In 2018, Shreve was a candidate for Indiana University trustee.[15]

In 2023, Shreve announced that he was running for Mayor of Indianapolis.[16] However, he lost the election to incumbent Joe Hogsett.[17] During his run for Mayor, Shreve called for stricter gun control.[18] His stance led him to get an F rating from the NRA.[19]

Shreve announced he would be running for Indiana's 6th congressional district in 2024.[20] He won the primary in May 2024, defeating a field of Republican candidates that included Mike Speedy, Jeff Raatz, Bill Frazier, and John Jacob.[21][22]

Shreve considers himself a moderate Republican.[23]
