“Let’s see what we CAN do.”

Jim Kudlak for Marshall County Commissioner

A fresh perspective, grounded in years of community service, focused on practical solutions for Marshall County.

Together, we can bring a “Let's see what we CAN do” attitude back to county government.

Meet Jim

Jim Kudlak was born and raised in Marshall County and understands the values that make our community special: hard work, faith, family, and neighbors looking out for one another.

Over the years, Jim has served in a variety of public-service and community roles — from local civic and fraternal organizations to hands-on charitable projects that help real people right here at home.

Jim is not a career politician. He is a problem-solver who believes county government should be approachable, accountable, and focused on results, not excuses.
