Jim Eastman Seeking Reelection For Shippen Township Supervisor, Cameron County
The “Land of Endless Mountains” has been home to me for 37 years. I’ve grown to love and appreciate Cameron county with all of it’s rich history, mountains, streams, hidden waterfalls, vast variety of wildlife, the breath taking Moore Hill sunsets, the serenity and peace of the outdoors and most of all the people! This county is full of some of the most loving and caring people in the world!
My wife and I raised our three children here and have been so blessed to be a part of Cameron county and its very fabric. I’ve had the privilege to serve as Pastor and to be involved in public service in a variety of ways all these years.
In March of 2021 I took on a role in the governorship, when I was sworn in as one of the three Shippen Township Supervisors. In 2023 I ran on the Republican ticket for Supervisor and by your out pour of support I won the two year term. That term is ending and I’m pleased to announce that I am running for this position again, in the May primaries, that I may continue to serve the Shippen township residents.
Since taking office I also became a part time employee on the road crew which has given me a more thorough understanding of our roads, ditches, right of ways, waterways and areas that need attention. I’ve been able to view our roadways in the rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, torrential flooding rains and high winds. Now when one of our residents call in or attend a township meeting with a concern I have a much better understanding of the location being addressed. My boots on the ground with the road crew has greatly enhanced my ability as a Supervisor to make more knowledgeable and accurate decisions on the issues at hand. It also helps me to know, without a doubt, the condition of our trucks, equipment and tools and serves in helping me to make logical and practical decisions when a discussion and a vote is on the table to replace or update something.
I, as a Supervisor, am always focused on the safety of you the residents, who have chosen to live in Shippen Township, to ensure that your travels on our roads will be as safe as possible. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you for the past two years! I’m now asking for your support and vote as Shippen Township Supervisor, that I might continue to be a voice for all of you, with the best interest of you and your family on my heart. Thank you!
