“How can I help?”

Those are the words that have defined Jason Ilstrup’s career.

From the Peace Corps to the hospitality industry, Jason has spent his entire life serving others. He got his start as a bellman at the Madison Concourse Hotel and now works as the President of Downtown Madison Inc – a not-for-profit that supports and advocates for a thriving downtown. He’s always looking to find a way to make things better – in big ways and small.

Life in Madison has gotten too expensive, and too many of our neighbors are being priced out of the place they love and call home.

Jason is running for Mayor so that everyone can thrive and feel welcome in Madison. He’ll work to bring down costs, ensure reliable city services, and build more housing that people can actually afford. And most importantly Jason will always make sure City Hall is working for the people of Madison.

Jason’s Priorities

  • Bring down costs and build more housing, so families can afford to stay in Madison.
  • Support the workers and businesses who keep our neighborhoods thriving.
  • Get the basics right: fix the roads and sidewalks, plow the streets, keep city services running.
  • Run a City Hall that works for you: responsive, accountable, and easy to reach.
