Meet Jim
Jim Kudlak was born and raised in Marshall County and understands the values that make our community special: hard work, faith, family, and neighbors looking out for one another.
Over the years, Jim has served in a variety of public-service and community roles — from local civic and fraternal organizations to hands-on charitable projects that help real people right here at home.
Jim is not a career politician. He is a problem-solver who believes county government should be approachable, accountable, and focused on results, not excuses.
