Bruce Jones was first elected Fiscal Officer in 2012.

Bruce earned his reputation for strict, conservative oversight of taxpayer dollars when he led a successful citizens' petition drive to get a proposed $34 million rec center on the ballot, subsequently defeated by the citizens of West Chester by a 2 to 1 margin. Having then made higher priorities possible, the proposed funds and location were used for construction of a new, substantially larger public library – championed by Mr. Jones - consistent with the education values of the community. Bruce has deep roots in West Chester dating back more than a half century. He grew up in West Chester (formerly known as Union Township) and attended Union Elementary, the son of Elizabeth and Charles Jones, a former state representative and senator for West Chester and surrounding counties. After graduating from Miami University, Bruce stayed in Butler County developing a balanced working career in both the private and public sectors. He and his wife, Patty, returned to West Chester in 1997 to continue raising their two daughters, Devyn and Lauren, both Lakota West and Miami University graduates.

Bruce has been involved in numerous civic and community organizations, but most cherishes his role as your Fiscal Officer and public servant.
