They call him "Mr. Munster" for good reason! George and his family have been an integral part of Munster for over 60 years.  Click on the photo to read the whole Shinkan family story as published in the March issue of Neighbors of Munster

George has a long history of service and leadership in Munster!

GEORGE WILL PUT YOU FIRST

George is clear that the taxpayer is the boss. He is dedicated to supporting police with the funding, resources, and additional personnel they need to keep us safe. He is equally mindful that Munster must continue to maintain the high level of municipal services the town is known for. Our personal safety and property values depend on it.

George is a lifelong resident who was

BORN & RAISED IN MUNSTER

His interests are the same as yours. As a father of 2, husband of a Munster teacher, and former business owner, he understands the importance of supporting our excellent schools and safeguarding this amazing community we call home. 

George knows that Munster residents overwhelmingly

REJECT HIGH DENSITY HOUSING

He has talked with many neighbors and business owners and the consensus is clear. George will not support any development proposals that could harm our property values, overcrowd our schools, add unnecessary stress to our infrastructure, or compromise public safety. 

GEORGE NEEDS YOUR VOTE

This critical time for Munster is precisely when we need better representation from a seasoned, professional leader who understands Munster like George does. Support Shinkan for Munster Town Council.
