Marvin L. Cole has announced his candidacy for re-election as Rush County Commissioner from the Southern District.

Cole was born and raised in Rush County and is a graduate of Milroy High School.
He resides on the family farm near Moscow in Orange Township with his wife, Roberta. They have three daughters: Linda Ging of Rushville, Mrs. Pam Guzman of Fort Wayne and Katie Cole of Greenfield. They also have four grandsons: Cole and Schuyler Ging, and Jose and Miquel Guzman.

Cole served in the United States Army and was a reserve deputy with the Rush County Sheriff’s Department for 25 years. He also served on the Rush County Council for 12 years and said that gave him a lot of experience for the challenges of the office of commissioner.
If re-elected, Cole maintains that Rush County will remain economically and financially stable and that the county will continue to progress. He also said he is prepared to face any new challenges and concerns that arise and to devote as much time and attention to the well being of Rush County as is necessary.
