Career

Prior to entering politics, Jacob worked as an auditor for the Indiana State Board of Accounts. He also owned a small business. Jacob was elected to the Indiana House of Representatives in November 2020. Jacob was endorsed by Operation Save America and campaigned on an anti-abortion platform. During his tenure, he authored House Bill 1282, which would ban abortion in Indiana.

On August 4, 2022, during a debate on new abortion restrictions in the Indiana House of Representatives, Jacob said "The body inside of the mom's body is not her body. Let me repeat that: The body inside of the mom's body is not her body. Not her body, not her choice.“
