Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt filed his campaign for re-election Tuesday. The Commissioner is vying for his second full term in office.
When asked about his priorities as Commissioner, Heirbrandt said, “Public safety must be our top priority. Whether it is quality training for firefighters and police officers, effective emergency management, or the resources needed to combat opioid addiction and abuse, it is the county’s responsibility to provide top-notch services.”
Heirbrandt also expressed the need for adequate road safety.
“As the county grows and traffic becomes more congested, our roads need to adapt quickly and efficiently to allow for shorter commutes and less traffic.”
The Commissioner has always been an advocate for improved taxpayer savings and constant transparency with the public. His belief that communication should always be a two-way street led to the creation of a social media program within the county. This has resulted in open and effective lines of communication between the public and the county.
Notably, while serving as Hamilton County Commissioner, Heirbrandt has accomplished:
- Working with INDOT, the City of Fishers, and the City of Noblesville, to secure $100 million in funding to improve the State Road 37 corridor;
- Expanding Lowe’s Way after working with INDOT and City of Carmel to provide a new route to access Keystone Parkway;
- Saving taxpayer dollars by installing solar panels to power county buildings; and,
- Expanding the county jail to ensure the future safety and security of Hamilton County
Throughout Heirbrandt’s time in office, accomplishments include: IACC – Outstanding Commissioners 2014, AIC – Local Government Cooperation Award for Ivy Tech 2015, AIC – Local Government Cooperation Award for State Road 37 Project 2016, AIC – County Achievement Award for Energy Savings Solar Project) 2018, AIC – Local Government Cooperation Award for Symons & Krause Drain Project 2019, Humane Society Community Advocate of the Year Award 2017, Associated Builders & Contractors – Project of the Year Award for Solar Project 2019, and the One Zone – Green Award for Solar Project at the Corrections Facility 2018.
