Today is only the second day of candidate filings for Hamilton County municipal elections, but we already have some news to report.

His release also says the council  needs “to continue to focus our community’s quality of life programs in order to bring more jobs to Fishers.”

Colby is an Army veteran and served in Vietnam.
