Shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday evening, Jocelyn Vare, local small business owner and community activist, was elected at large to the Fishers City Council. Running with support from across the political spectrum on a platform based on balanced growth, accountability and fiscal responsibility, Vare is one of only two Democrats elected to Fishers municipal government in the city’s history.
“Today’s election in Fishers proves what our residents have known for a long time: Decades-long, one party rule might benefit Republican politicians, but not our community,” said Vare. “True leadership requires independent, critical thinking and the vulnerability to receive and address criticism from constituents. This is a diverse city and we deserve balanced representation.”
Concluding her remarks, Vare addressed the community as a whole: “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve all Fishers residents, and I look forward to collaborating with my new colleagues to improve government transparency and accountability. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work for Fishers.”
In addition to support from Democrats across the city of Fishers, Vare also earned the endorsement of the Fiscal Conservatives of Hamilton County.
As a city councilor, Vare says she is committed to ensuring all residents’ voices are heard, regardless of party affiliation. Residents who would like to share an idea or concern with her are encouraged to call Vare’s “Listen to Fishers” information line at (888) 518-7117.
In the coming days and weeks, Vare will share additional plans to improve the lines of communication between residents and the city council.

Hi. I voted for you. Congratulations. I’m trying to get a message to the Biden people. Can you provide me with an email address that will actually get read?
