When the alarm calls we need to know our elected officials have put us in the best position to respond with maximum efficacy.

“As a dedicated servant leader in our community, working closely with our public safety leadership as a member of the Common Council, Chris has demonstrated his dedication to Noblesville not in words but through action to create a safer Noblesville. We support his focused vision for the future of Noblesville. When Chris declared his candidacy for Mayor, we immediately knew Noblesville would be in excellent hands. That is why we offered our unprecedented early endorsement of his candidacy.”
