Dear Editor:

As a former mayor, I know the challenges, problem solving, and collaboration it takes to run our great city. As we choose our next mayor, we need a dynamic leader who will focus on our city’s infrastructure, preserve our high quality of life, focus on fiscal responsibility, and someone who will put our residents first.

That leader is Sue Finkam.

I am proud to endorse Sue Finkam for Carmel’s next mayor because her unique background as a CEO, a public servant, and a mom is exactly what we need as we write Carmel’s next chapter.

Sue fought for increased transparency while on the city council, founding LetsTalkCarmel.com, our community transparency portal. As a business executive, she works every day to help her clients reach new clients so they can grow and expand. And as a mom, I know she will work every day to make Carmel the best community in America to work, start a business, raise a family, and retire.

Sue Finkam is the real deal with the experience needed to lead our city, and I hope you will join me in supporting her to be our next mayor.

Dorothy “Dottie” Hancock
Former Carmel Mayor
