A Level Hand for Salado’s Future

Leading with Integrity

A Proven Leader for the Village We Love.

Jeff Ingrum Standing

In 2016, JoAnn and I moved our family to Salado for a new adventure. We fell in love with the pace of life here—the Friday night lights, the historic charm, and the way this community feels like one big family.

Professionally, my career has been defined by solving complex financial puzzles. As a CEO and CFO, I’ve stepped into organizations facing multi-million dollar deficits and led them back to profitability within months. I don't just 'manage' budgets; I build sustainable, long-term business plans that work.

But if you ask me what I’m most proud of, it isn't a spreadsheet. It’s the hours spent on the driveway coaching Jack’s jump shot, or the evenings at the high school track helping Jordyn perfect her pole vault technique. I believe in being present. Whether it’s for my family or for our Village, I show up, I listen, and I do the work.

The Core Pillars:

Balanced

Growth that respects our history.

Salado is at a critical point. We cannot stop growth, but we must balance it. I will ensure that new development pays its own way and that we protect the historic character that makes our Village a destination.

Strategic

A 5-Year Business Plan for Salado.

Government shouldn’t operate year-to-year on guesswork. I will bring executive-level strategy to Village Hall, establishing a clear roadmap for our finances, our infrastructure, and our future.

Diligent

Accountability in every tax dollar.

Stabilizing and diversifying our revenue is my top priority. I will be a watchdog for your tax dollars, ensuring that every investment we make, from roads to public safety, is done with precision and common sense.
