Meet Andrew Stauffer
Andrew Stauffer is a husband, father, businessman, and proud Jackson County resident, running for re-election as County Commissioner.
Born and raised in Northern Indiana, Andrew earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Kettering University in Michigan. While in school, he gained valuable hands-on experience through a co-op program with Dana Incorporated, and later with Bosch, where he developed diesel fuel and engine calibration systems. Andrew ultimately rose to lead Bosch’s first North American Diesel Motorsport Division, overseeing everything from product development and testing to sales, marketing, and manufacturing.
In 2012, Andrew relocated to Seymour to serve as resident engineer for Bosch at the Cummins Seymour Engine Plant. That same year, he co-founded S&S Diesel Motorsport, a Seymour-based company that started with just two employees and has since grown to employ over 40 Hoosiers – many of them right here in Jackson County. Today, S&S Diesel is recognized as one of the most innovative companies in the diesel industry, designing and manufacturing reliability products that make diesel trucks stronger and more dependable.
In September of 2025, Andrew was elected by Republican precinct committeemen to fill a vacancy on the Jackson County Board of Commissioners for District 3. He is now seeking a full term in the May 2026 Republican Primary. With his background in business, engineering, and community service, Andrew brings proven leadership and a strong commitment to helping Jackson County grow and thrive.
Andrew and his wife, Lindsey, live in Brownstown with their daughters, Sloane and Josie. Their family is active in the community and attends Brownstown Christian Church.
