Jefferson Scott Shreve (born September 24, 1965) is an American politician who has served as the U.S. representative from Indiana's 6th congressional district since 2025. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served on the Indianapolis City-County Council from 2018 to 2020 and from 2013 to 2016.

Early life and business career

[edit]

Shreve was born in Indianapolis on September 24, 1965 and raised in the University Heights neighborhood.[1][2] He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Indiana University, Bloomington, a Master of Arts in international studies from the University of London, and his Master of Business Administration in agribusiness from the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University.[3][4]

Shreve founded Storage Express, which he sold in 2022 to Extra Space Storage for $590 million. He also received a seat on the company's board of directors.[2][5][6]

Early political career

[edit]

Shreve was appointed to the Indianapolis City Council in 2013 after incumbent Jeff Cardwell resigned to serve in Governor Mike Pence's administration.[7] He did not run for re-election in 2015 and left office in January 2016. He was appointed to the city council again in 2018 when incumbent Jeff Miller resigned after pleading guilty to four felonies.[8][9] Like his first term, he did not run for re-election in 2019 and left office in January 2020.

Shreve ran for the Indiana Senate in the 36th district but lost the Republican primary to Jack Sandlin by 2.6%.[10] He unsuccessfully ran for Indiana University trustee in 2018.[11]

Shreve ran for mayor of Indianapolis in 2023 and lost to incumbent Joe Hogsett.[12] During his mayoral campaign, Shreve called for banning assault weapon sales, repealing permitless carry in Indiana, and raising the legal age to purchase a gun from 18 to 21.[13] His stance led him to get an F rating from the NRA Political Victory Fund.[14][15]

Shreve considers himself a moderate Republican.[16]
