Biography

Jefferson Shreve is the Republican U.S. Representative for Indiana's 6th District and won re-election on November 3, 2026, according to unofficial results. A lifelong Hoosier, he founded the self-storage company Storage Express, served on the Indianapolis City-County Council, ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2023, and was first elected to Congress in 2024. He now serves on the House Appropriations Committee.[1][2][3][4][5]

Basic profile — the most important sourced facts we found.

Shreve was born in Indianapolis on September 24, 1965, and raised in the city's University Heights neighborhood.[16] He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Indiana University in 1989, a master's degree in international studies from the University of London in 1998, and an MBA in agribusiness from Purdue University in 2003.[3][4][16] According to his House biography, he founded the real estate company Storage Express, which grew across about half a dozen states over three decades before he merged it into a New York Stock Exchange-listed national firm, and he later served on the board of Extra Space Storage. He also co-owned a software business, e-Tracker, and invested in Illinois basin oil and gas wells and in farm and ranch land.[17][4]

Shreve served on the Indianapolis City-County Council from 2013 to 2016 and again from 2018 to 2019. He was appointed to the seat both times and did not seek re-election.[3][16] In January 2018 he was elected 7th District Vice Chairman of the Indiana Republican State Committee, and he was re-elected in March 2021. He was also a district-level delegate to the 2020 Republican National Convention.[3] He lost the Republican primary for Indiana State Senate District 36 to Jack Sandlin. In 2023 he was the Republican nominee for Mayor of Indianapolis and lost the November general election to incumbent Democrat Joe Hogsett.[3][16]

Shreve won the 2024 Republican primary for the open 6th District seat vacated by Rep. Greg Pence, and then the November 2024 general election, taking office in January 2025.[3][16] He won re-election in the November 3, 2026 general election with 55.1% of the vote to Cynthia Wirth's 44.9%, according to unofficial results reported by NBC News.[1] The House Steering Committee named him to the House Appropriations Committee in 2026, and his office describes him as the first Indiana Republican on the committee in thirty years. Ballotpedia lists earlier House assignments to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, including its Aviation; Highways and Transit; and Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials subcommittees, and to the Foreign Affairs Committee.[3][4][5] According to his House biography, Shreve has served as national chairman of the Indiana University Alumni Association and on the executive committee of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce board and of a regional hospital system board. He and his wife, Mary, live on Indianapolis's Southside.[4]
