My name is Ronald Kroger Jr. and I have been a resident of Hanover for over fifty years. In January 2026 I was caucused in as the Hanover Town Trustee and I’m currently serving in that position. Since I took office I have been traveling to various state trainings for this position to help me learn more ways to help in my community. I have found it to be very rewarding to be able to help residents with essential needs and to connect them with other resources. I feel I have much more to learn and to contribute to this office.

Madison Township:
Trustee: Kasie Lessley
Advisory Board: Marilyn Hutchinson
Dr. Kasie Lessley is running for Madison Township Trustee to bring a fresh, community-driven approach to local government. As a physical therapist and small business owner, she has spent her career helping people navigate complex challenges, advocate for themselves, and access the resources they need to move forward.
She believes the role of Trustee is about more than financial assistance, it’s about accountability, connection, and creating real opportunities for people to improve their lives. Kasie is passionate about strengthening the community by connecting residents to local resources, supporting access to care, and fostering partnerships that make Madison Township healthier and more resilient.
Kasie is committed to being present, approachable, and responsive. She believes local government should work for the people, and she’s ready to serve as a strong, engaged advocate for the community she calls home.
I grew up on a farm with my three brothers. I attended Ball State University, where I received degrees in Library Science and Social Studies, and a Masters in Personnel Administration. I taught Junior High students for 25 years and did substitute teaching thereafter.
As a member of the Madison Township Advisory Board, I promise I will continue to make my decisions fairly and for the good of all members of the Township.
I would appreciate your vote.
