Meet the Candidates

Ashley Huffman, of New Castle, announces her candidacy for Henry County Township Trustee in the 2022 local election. Huffman is a lifetime resident of New Castle and currently serves as a member and past President of the Henry County Township Trustee board, where she has been an elected member for eight years.
“I love my hometown and am committed to this community and helping New Castle and the township have a secure position for the future. Trustees are the back-up help for local citizens and important services that make our community safe and successful,” said Huffman.
Huffman is a 1992 New Castle High School graduate and holds a B.S. degree in business from Indiana University East. She was the Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Henry County (now known as Believe and Achieve Mentoring BAM) for 11 years before becoming a licensed real estate broker ERA Integrity Real Estate. In addition, Huffman served as the coordinator of the Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Academy and worked for the Interlocal Community Action Program (ICAP) as the “Too Good for Drugs” Coordinator.
While serving at BBBS and BAM, Huffman often quoted Magic Johnson, “All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them.” She said, “that mantra can work for the community as a whole.”
Huffman is a member of Tri Kappa Sorority and is a member of New Castle Church of Christ. She is married to Aaron and they have four children, Kayla, an R.N. at Reid Hospital; Trevor, a business major at Indiana State University and William and Nick Huffman, juniors at New Castle High School.
