Sparta
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 Javier Ortiz, and I am proud to call White County home. Since moving to Sparta in 2019, I have made it my mission to be actively involved in the community and support the people who make this county special.
I am a small business owner in downtown Sparta and the owner of 1938 Social, a neighborhood pub focused on bringing people together. Through my business and personal efforts, I have worked closely with local nonprofits and community organizations to raise funds and awareness for important causes throughout White County.
