Scott Fadness, his wife Aunna and the latest addition to their family, Hudson, all braved the snowy Friday morning to allow the incumbent mayor to officially file his paperwork to become a candidate for another term in office as Fishers first and only mayor.

In a campaign news release announcing his filing, Fadness touted the city’s growth, economic development, city service improvements and low tax rate during his tenure in office.

“We’ve made great strides as a city. Our signature initiatives have been the result of collaboration with community leaders, nonprofit leaders, neighborhood activists and residents across Fishers,” Fadness said. “Recently being named the ‘Best Place to Live in America’ reflects our thoughtful planning and hard work.”

Fadness also points to his mental health initiative as a high priority during his time as mayor.

So far, Scott Fadness is the only candidate to officially file the paperwork with the Hamilton County Election Office in Noblesville as a Fishers mayoral candidate.

Logan Day has formed an exploratory committee for a run for mayor, but has not yet officially filed.  The filing deadline for candidates in the May 7th primary election is noon on Friday, February 8th.
