Jason Dean, a Republican from LaGrange, is a candidate for the Wisconsin State Assembly. Jason is a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, father, private sector business leader, and active community volunteer. Jason served over two decades in the United States Marine Corps and deployed for multiple tours of duty in Iraq. In 2006, Jason was wounded in action by enemy fire. He was subsequently awarded the Purple Heart Medal.

Jason held leadership roles throughout his military career and achieved the rank of Master Sergeant. In 2013, Jason was selected to the highly competitive Congressional Fellowship Program where he was assigned to the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. His final duty station included serving as a Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Pentagon. The same sense of service to our nation that inspired Jason to enlist in the Marine Corps motivates his efforts to serve in elected office.

Upon his retirement from the military in 2017, Jason and his family relocated to Wisconsin and settled in LaGrange. In 2018, Jason began volunteering for Congressman Bryan Steil’s campaign and served in the position of Field Director, coordinating the grassroots effort for the campaign. After helping Congressman Steil win election, Jason accepted a position with his current position at ABC Supply Company, Inc. to serve on a divisional leadership team.

On a volunteer basis, Jason serves as an Advanced EMT with the Lauderdale-LaGrange Fire Department and on Whitewater Fire Department (WFD). In 2021, Jason was elected to the WFD Board of Directors as the Vice-President. Jason holds leadership roles in various veterans’ service organizations in Wisconsin including the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) where he advocates for veterans and their benefits on the state leadership team. Jason lives in LaGrange with his wife, Jessica and his teenage son Jeffrey. Jason also has two adult sons currently serving in the United States Marine Corps.
