Michelle Harris for Porter County Council At - Large
Michelle Harris has lived in Valparaiso for over 15 years and is an English teacher at Valparaiso High School. She is a graduate of Ball State University and Valparaiso University. She also serves as the Valparaiso High School Student Council Sponsor and the Freshman Class sponsor. Michelle is an active member of her temple and serves as the Temple Israel Board Secretary. She sits on the Valparaiso Fire Territory Board as the secretary. She is married to Chuck Harris, the Porter County Recorder. Together, they have three children.Although her civic experience stems from her work with students in the classroom, she is excited to expand her outreach to the County Council and serve the people of Porter County in a broader capacity.
The County Council serves as the fiduciary branch of county government and has decision-making power regarding fiscal affairs. Porter County is an incredible community, but that doesn’t mean we accept the status quo. We need effective leaders on the council who are willing to grow and evolve. Council members should be creative, and innovative, think outside the box, find new solutions to old problems, and adapt to new challenges with agility and fresh perspectives. I have all of these qualifications and I am committed to creating positive and lasting change.
My decision to run for County Council is because I believe in being a public servant. My passion is to be a part of something bigger while serving the people in our community on a larger level. I have the drive and desire to make Porter County the best that it can be! I believe candidates who have strong moral and ethical values are more likely to make decisions that prioritize the common good and are aligned with the needs of the people they represent. I have a proven history of tackling challenges, and a dedicated record of serving the community with the primary goal of making a positive impact on people's lives.
