“Every dollar the city spends belongs to the taxpayers.”
— Duane CulpWhy Duane Culp
A mayor who has already spent his life protecting Plymouth.
Plymouth doesn’t need a politician. It needs a neighbor. Duane Culp was raised here, married a Plymouth girl, raised two daughters here, and is now watching his grandchildren grow up on the same streets he once patrolled. He knows this city the way only someone who has answered its 3 a.m. calls can know it.
For 31 years he wore a badge for Marshall County, rising from academy graduate to Detective Lieutenant and third in command of the Sheriff’s Department. For 18 of those years he also ran toward fires as a Plymouth volunteer firefighter. That is not a résumé. That is a record of showing up when it counts.
Since 2011 he has taken that same approach to the City Council: listen first, spend carefully, and deliver things families actually use, like the Harrison Street sidewalks and the renovated Packard Woods playground. As Mayor, he will bring that discipline to every department and every dollar.
The pitch is simple. Safer neighborhoods. Jobs that pay enough to raise a family. Homes that working people can afford. And a City Hall that remembers whose money it is spending. That is conservative, common-sense leadership, and it is what Plymouth deserves.
He’s one of us
Born and raised in Plymouth. Never left. His family’s roots and future are right here.
Proven under pressure
Three decades of law enforcement leadership and 18 years fighting fires. He knows how to make the hard calls.
A record, not promises
Fifteen years on the Council delivering sidewalks, parks, and sound budgets for Plymouth families.
Your money, treated like yours
A fiscal conservative who believes every tax dollar should be spent as carefully as your own paycheck.
The Plan for Plymouth
Four priorities. One hometown.
Practical goals for a city that works for the people who live, work, and raise families here.
Better-Paying Jobs
Make Plymouth the easiest place in Marshall County to open, grow, and keep a business. More jobs that pay enough to raise a family without leaving town.
Mid-Priced Housing
Young families, nurses, teachers, and tradespeople need homes they can actually afford. Cut red tape and partner with builders to grow attainable housing.
Responsible Growth
Grow smart, not reckless. Balanced budgets, honest accounting, and infrastructure that is paid for. Every dollar the city spends belongs to the taxpayers.
A Lifetime of Service
Thirty-plus years of showing up for Plymouth.

Today
Still serving: Courthouse security and City Council
Provides security at the Marshall County Courthouse while continuing to represent Plymouth on the Council. Now running to lead the city as Mayor.
Plymouth isn’t a stop on my career. It’s the only home I’ve ever known, and it’s where my grandkids are growing up. I want it to be safe, strong, and affordable for them and for yours.
Duane CulpFaith, Family, Hometown
Deep roots in the community he wants to lead.
Duane and his wife Jacque both grew up in Plymouth. They raised their daughters, Katelynn and Brittany, here. Today Katelynn is married to a police officer, and together they are raising three children of their own in the community.
That is four generations of a family invested in Plymouth. When Duane talks about safe streets, good jobs, and affordable homes, he isn’t reading talking points. He is describing what he wants for his own grandchildren.
