Logan Day, Fishers resident, citizen activist and small business owner, formally filed paperwork Wednesday establishing an exploratory committee to evaluate support for a bid to become the next mayor of the City of Fishers.
“Fishers is a diverse and vibrant city, made up of more than 90,000 residents who reflect a collective desire to live in a strong and sustainable community,” said Day. “It energizes me to interact with so many residents who possess deep enthusiasm to be involved in guiding the direction of their city. As a prospective candidate for mayor, I bring over 10 years of leadership, business and community service experience to help further the residents’ vision of what Fishers can be, now and in the future.
“In taking this step today, I will share my campaign platform with residents while gauging the level of support that I can expect as a candidate for mayor. If elected, I will facilitate transparency and inclusiveness of citizens’ input in city government operations, implement a sustainable growth strategy and champion responsible investment and spending of taxpayers’ dollars.
“If given the honor to serve as Mayor of Fishers, there are two critical action items that I would address upon taking office. First, I would work with relevant officials and stakeholders to make essential services and amenities more accessible to residents in a fiscally responsible manner, such as opening a BMV branch within Fishers city limits. Second, I would assemble a team to evaluate the true taxpayer impact of the Nickel Plate Trail and cost-effective alternatives for planned future development of the corridor.”
Throughout high school, college and his career, Day has given himself to service within his community by becoming involved as a member of various boards and organizations, including Youth Encouraging Philanthropy, Ball State Student Rights and Community Standards Review Board and Cardinal Leadership and Service Seminar, among others.
Most recently, Day spent more than two years advocating on behalf of 12,000 citizens who petitioned to save the Nickel Plate railroad. In addition, he has responded to a call for help from the Fishers Youth Mentoring Initiative (YMI) to serve as an adult mentor to a student in the Hamilton Southeastern school system.
Day says his strong record of community service has prepared him to faithfully discharge the duties of Mayor of Fishers.
Day lives in Fishers with his wife, Kathleen, and two daughters, Adeline and Isabelle.
