Gage Shively For Churubusco Town Council

05/07/2026

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who showed up and voted in this primary election. Your support, encouragement, conversations, and belief in me truly mean more than I can put into words.

This campaign has never just been about one person — it’s about our community, our families, and the future of our town. I’m incredibly grateful for every handshake, every message, every conversation and every vote cast in support of this campaign.

While this is most certainly something to celebrate, our work is not finished yet. We still have an important election ahead in November. I’m committed to continuing to listen, work hard, and fight for a transparent, responsible, and community-focused future for Churubusco.

Thank you again for putting your trust in me. Let’s keep moving forward together!!!

Tomorrow is Election Day, and I just want to take a moment to remind everyone how important it is to get out and vote. Our town has always been strongest when its people show up—when we take pride in where we live and have a say in where we’re headed.

I’ve built my campaign around transparency, fiscal responsibility, and making sure we take care of what we have while continuing to grow the right way. But none of that matters without your voice being heard.

No matter who you support, I encourage you to take a few minutes, head to the polls, and be part of shaping the future of Churubusco.

Preserving Our Roots. Growing with Purpose.

In a world that feels more uncertain than ever, I find myself coming back to what truly matters—home, community, and the people who stand beside us every day.

Churubusco isn’t just where we live… it’s who we are. It’s the neighbors who show up without being asked, the families who support one another through the highs and the lows, and the hardworking men and women who keep this town running—often without recognition.

This Easter season is a reminder of hope, renewal, and the strength we find in each other. It’s a time to slow down, be grateful, and reconnect with what matters most—our families, our faith, and our community.

Now more than ever, we need leadership that listens, that cares, and that remembers the values that built this town in the first place.

I’m running for town council because I believe in us. I believe in protecting what makes Busco special while making thoughtful, responsible decisions for our future. That means being transparent, being accountable, and always putting our community first.

We don’t need to look far for hope—it’s right here in the people of this town.

Wishing you and your family a happy and blessed Easter. Let’s take care of what we’ve built, support one another, and move forward together.

Heads up! US 33 north of town should be avoided!

US 33 is back open!

Transparency isn’t just a promise—it’s a responsibility.

As your Town Councilman hopeful, I believe you deserve clear answers, honest communication, and a voice in the decisions that shape our community. Every decision made should reflect the best interests of the people we serve, not happen behind closed doors.

I am committed to being open about the challenges we face, the choices we make, and the direction we’re headed. I will not always have an answer, but I will do what it takes to find one! That means listening to your concerns, sharing information openly, and making myself available to you—not just at meetings, but every day.

Trust is built through honesty, accountability, and action. I will continue working to ensure our town government remains transparent, responsible, and focused on serving you.

Together, we can build a stronger future—one grounded in trust and openness.

Please use caution in the 500 South block of Main Street due to a water main break—our dedicated town crews are already on the scene.

I want to take this moment to establish as a town councilman, I firmly believe we must take care of those who take care of us. Our Street and Water Departments are doing vital work right now, on a Sunday while most of us are enjoying time with our families. I will ensure they have the tools and compensation they need to get the job done effectively and efficiently! Being fiscally responsible doesn’t mean we don’t spend—it means we spend in the right ways and in the right places, ensuring both effective service and long-term sustainability for our community!

When the weather’s at its worst, there are dedicated people out there making sure we’re all okay—like the water and street crews repairing a broken water main in the middle of a snowstorm after plowing streets. They don’t always get the spotlight, but we wouldn’t make it far without them. Let’s remember to look after those who look after us and give them the thanks they’ve earned; even if it’s just some hot chocolate. Their commitment to our community is something we should all be proud of! We need to make sure they have the tools and support needed to keep our town at its best!
