As part of MSJ-Sparta’s 2026 Election Coverage, our Meet Your Candidates series gives voters a quick, clear look at who’s on the ballot and where they stand so you can head to the polls informed and confident.
My name is Bryan Cole, and I am proud to have been born and raised right here in White County. This community shaped who I am — my work ethic, my faith, and my commitment to serving others.
Faith and family is at the center of everything I do. I am blessed to share my life with my wife, Lisa Cole, and our two children, Bryson Cole and Lindsey Cole. They are my greatest motivation and the reason I care so deeply about the future of our community. White County isn’t just where we live — it’s home. It’s where we work, worship, raise our children, and build our future.
I have seen the growth in our county over the years, and with that growth comes both opportunity and responsibility. I am running for White County Commissioner in the 6th District because I believe local government works best when it is transparent, accountable, and connected to the people it represents.
Decisions made at the county level directly affect our roads, schools, public safety, and tax dollars — and those decisions deserve careful thought and open communication.
If elected, I commit to:
• Hosting quarterly district meetings to listen to your concerns and provide clear updates on county decisions
• Remaining accessible and responsive to calls, messages, and emails
• Protecting taxpayer dollars through responsible, common-sense budgeting
• Leading with integrity, faith, and accountability in every vote I cast
Public service is not about politics — it’s about people. I want to be a strong, steady voice for the citizens of the 6th District and for all of White County.
I would greatly appreciate your vote and the opportunity to serve the citizens of the 6th District. It would be an honor to represent you and be a voice for our community.
