Republican incumbent Cecilia Coble has announced she will run for another term on the Fishers City Council, At-Large. The election will take place in May 2023.
Coble
Coble has been a strong leader on the Fishers City Council since 2015. She made history as the first Latina to be elected on the Fishers City Council in 2014 after Fishers transitioned from a town to a city, and again as the first woman to serve as President of the Council in 2020 and 2021.
She currently serves as Co-Chair on the Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability (FACD), an initiative that was led by Coble. The committee focuses on the challenges facing the disability community and establishes strategies to effect change. The City of Fishers received the 2017 Champions of Inclusion Award by the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities for the committee’s efforts.
“I am proud of the work the Disability Committee has done to champion inclusion, accessibility, and in providing more housing and employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Fishers,” Coble said. “It’s led to helping other cities implement the same approach, which is making an impact for the disability community in Hamilton County and beyond.”
Additionally, Coble says she takes pride in Fishers’ AAA credit rating by S&P, the highest possible rating for a municipality. The City of Fishers is one of the first cities in the state to achieve this designation in 2016 and has maintained the designation every year.
“Cecilia has been an important leader on our council, and our city’s success is a reflection of that,” Mayor Scott Fadness said.
Fishers was named “Best Places to Live in America” by Money Magazine in 2017 and “Community of the Year” by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce in 2016.
Coble says she will continue to focus on diversifying Fishers’ tax base to keep resident’s taxes low, ensure police and fire have the resources they need, and that the city invests in quality-of-life opportunities.
Currently, Coble is on the board of directors of Accelerate Indiana Municipalities (AIM) and is an appointed member of the Fishers Arts & Culture Commission. She is a Charter Member of the Fifty Club of Fishers and a founding member of Thrive Social Club. She is a past President of the Hamilton County Republican Women’s Club.
Coble and her husband, Mike, have lived in Fishers since 2011. They have two daughters. As a family, they enjoy going to summer concerts in Fishers.
