“We’ve worked hard and accomplished a lot, but there is still work to do.” Hampton said. “Noblesville is our home and I love representing our neighbors in District Four.”
Hampton’s first term has been active, with the Levinson downtown living/parking project, Finch Creek Fieldhouse, improved infrastructure, and new trail projects including the Little Chicago Road Trail that helped connect many west side residents to the Midland Trace.
“Most of all I’ve been approachable and available when residents have a question or concern,” Hampton said. “I’ve also asked tough questions of the administration, staff and developers in order to reach the best results possible for our city and residents.”
Hampton is also very proud that crime rates have fallen over the last two years, and he points directly to the establishment of the POP Unit within the Noblesville Police Department as a major factor, a specialized unit the current council helped bring to NPD in 2016.
Committee assignments over the first three years of his term include finance committee, economic development, public safety, roads and parks. Hampton is also the council liaison for the city court and public safety and he has also served on the Noblesville Planning Commission.
Hampton, a longtime sportscaster on television and radio with WISH-TV 8, the Indianapolis Colts and Ball State University, is currently the Client Development Specialist for The ELAM Group and 21ology; two Noblesville businesses that are housed together in the old Federal Hill School building in the heart of District Four. Hampton also continues on the administrative team for NewDay Network, an addiction recovery center.
“My career has always been about communication, connectivity and results,” Hampton added.
Hampton has served on the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation since 2007 and was the chairman of the Educate Noblesville PAC that led to school expansion and brought IVY Tech to Noblesville. He was also in the inaugural class of Miller Ambassadors. He is an active member of Our Lady of Grace Church (OLG) where he’s a member of the Knights of Columbus and teaches religious education. Hampton has also coached youth sports since 1999 for CYO, Noblesville Youth Baseball, Noblesville Babe Ruth and Noblesville Boys and Girls Club.
Hampton’s father served as mayor of his hometown of Muncie.
“I remember dad talking about the pride he felt when he could make something better for Muncie and its citizens,” said Hampton. “That’s really what this is all about, it’s an honor to serve our community.”
His wife of 31 years, Becky, is OLG’s Coordinator of Elementary Religious Education. They have three children, all Noblesville High School graduates: John, a Ball State graduate who lives and works in Noblesville, and twins Will and Maggie who are college freshmen.
