Councilor Joseph Carswell

I was born in 1978 in a small coastal town, where I grew up and met my high school sweetheart. After graduation, we married and later welcomed three incredible kids. My career took me into banking, where I now work as a Technology Manager. I oversee IT systems with a focus on security and innovation.

 

Ten years ago, in 2015, my family and I moved to Lafayette, Oregon, drawn to its tight-knit community in Yamhill County. Since then, I’ve stepped up as a City Councilor, serving through December 31, 2026, and working to improve life for Lafayette’s 4,000 residents with practical solutions like better infrastructure.

 

Here in Lafayette, I balance my tech role and council duties with raising my family. I enjoy the Willamette Valley alongside my wife and kids. From my coastal roots to this Oregon home, I’m dedicated to leading, serving, and growing with the same partner I fell for back in high school.

 

Councilor Carswell's term ends on December 31, 2026.
