Cecilia Coble, Fishers City Councilor At-Large, announced on Wednesday that she has filed for re-election to the seat she has served in since Fishers became a city in 2015.
Coble serves as Chair of the Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability where she championed efforts to raise awareness and open opportunities in the business community for individuals with disabilities. Those efforts helped lead to Fishers receiving the 2017 Champions of Inclusion Award by the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities. Coble also co-chaired the Parks & Open Space Task Force for the development of the 2040 Parks Master Plan and City of Fishers Comprehensive Plan.
“I’m proud of what Fishers has accomplished in the last five years,” said Coble. “Not only have we continued to build Fishers through sound economic development, top-notch parks and recreation opportunities, and fiscal responsibility that is second to none, but we have also led to bring awareness and inclusion, creating a better quality of life for all our residents. I look forward to continuing our momentum of creating a strong sense of place in Fishers by prioritizing fiscal responsibility, public safety, and the efficient and effective delivery of city services.”
As a daughter of a retired FBI Special Agent, Cecilia is an advocate for law enforcement. She is also a founding member of the Fifty Club of Fishers, which provides supplemental life insurance and disability benefits to Fishers firefighters and police officers who are injured or killed in the line of duty.
Coble was recently appointed to the newly formed Fishers Arts & Culture Commission, serves on the boards of the Bev Hartig Huntington’s Disease Foundation and the Giving Hope Foundation, and is an Associate Member of the Christamore House Guild.
Coble received her B.A. from the University of Arizona and she holds a J.D. from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis. After law school, she worked as a Government Relations Representative for Bank One Consumer Lending Group and as a Project/Account Manager for Pangea Lingua Translations & Communications in Indianapolis.
She and her husband Mike have been married for 25 years. They have two teenage daughters, Alexa and Crysta, who has autism and cognitive delays.
