STATE COMPTROLLER
Jessica Bailey was born, raised and has proudly made her home in Northwest Indiana. She is a
servant leader in her community dedicating her time on many boards including Friends of
Portage Township Park Foundation, 500 Turkeys Valparaiso, Portage Township YMCA and many more over the years. Jessica served on the Portage Township School Board for six years.
​
Bailey is in her second full term as Porter County Clerk, a position she was elected to in 2018 and reelected in 2022. As Clerk, she has focused on efficiency and service. Bailey and her team won a National Clearinghouse Award from the Election Assistance Commission and she was named Clerk of the Year from the Association of Indiana Counties in 2023 and Election Board Member of the Year in 2021.
​
“I’m ready to bring servant leadership back to the Indiana Statehouse on behalf of all Hoosiers. As State Comptroller, I will bring the same level of service and efficiency to the office as I do daily as Porter County Clerk. Hoosiers expect a government that is transparent, accountable, and focused on people,” Bailey said.
​
“After years of one-party control at the Statehouse, Hoosiers deserve oversight of state tax dollars from someone outside of the Republican Party apparatus. I am accountable to no one but Hoosiers. As Comptroller, I will focus on making Hoosiers confident in how their taxes are spent, and use my experience as Porter County Clerk to help local governments become more efficient.”
