I have lived in Springdale most of my life growing up in Heritage Hill, graduating from Princeton High School (where I met my wife of more than 25 years – Karen), and after a short stay in Chicago moved back to Oxford Hills 22 years ago where we have been busy with 3 sons, a career, and all the joys and challenges of modern day family life.

Having retired from professional life in this past year after a 20+ year career working in Tech and Management at leading companies across the region, I have been spending some of my free time giving back to my community.  I was elected to Springdale’s City Council in 2017 then re-elected in 2021.  For the past 2 years I have had the great honor to serve as President of Council.

I have always made being accessible and accountable a priority for local government with open 2-way communication a priority.  Please take a few minutes to look through this site where I talk more about my background and where I stand on current issues.  I have kept this website to post thoughts on larger issues since I was first elected to City Council in 2017 and for the past several years I have found the very well managed Springdale Facebook group a great place for shorter updates and discussions.

If you have any concerns or questions about what has been going on at Council please reach out.  We are a small city but a lot of great things are happening and sometimes word of mouth doesn’t do all the noteworthy work justice.

I am running for rep for Springdale District 1, if you live here I am asking for your support this fall.  (And if you live anywhere in Springdale I am of course available to help as well!)

Springdale City Council District 1

If you have any questions about where I stand, if I can help out, or just want to say “hi!”, feel free to drop me a note or reach-out in the Springdale Facebook page.

Thank you for your consideration,

Jeff Anderson (and family)
