Logan Day has been very active on social media the past few weeks, behaving very much like a candidate for the mayor’s job in Fishers. Mr. Day made all that official today as he filed his official paperwork at the Hamilton County just before the February 8th noon deadline.
That means there will be a contested Republican primary for mayor in Fishers for the first time since Fishers transformed from a town to a city, and there was a transition election for one-year terms in 2014. In that first city election, there were six candidates for mayor.
In that 2014 balloting, Fadness had 46% of the votes cast in the GOP primary, defeating former Fishers Town Council President Walt Kelly, who had 42% of the vote. All of the four other candidates were far behind those vote totals.
Logan Day’s Facebook post announcing his official candidacy cites what he describes as “transparent, responsible, strategic and sustainable leadership” in his campaign for the mayor’s office.
On his campaign Facebook page. Day posted a video of him talking along 116th Street, asking whether Fishers has become a “disposable community” with new developments planned for downtown. He also appears to be critical of The Yard development, asking whether it is an example of “scope creep.”
Incumbent Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness announced his intention to run for re-election months ago and filed his official candidacy paperwork February 1st.
I support Logan Day for mayor of Fishers! We need a mayor who will listen to the residents instead of the developers. Stop the out of control increase in debt, and vote for Logan to restore responsible government.
I support him as well. And I and many others are tired of this fast development, enough !
This is exciting! The people of Fishers should have a choice in what is funded and constructed. Having a candidate that is offering transparent and easy access to government is what Fishers needs.
We are so excited about Logan Day running for mayor. He has our 100% support. Fishers is in need for a change in leadership. We need leadership that listens to the citizens and respects the traditions and wishes of the taxpayers. Logan Day for Mayor!
He has my vote😀
In the 2yrs that I have known Logan he has demonstrated incredible leadership skills. Logan has taken on some huge challenges as the former spokesperson for Save The Nickel Plate, demonstrating his ability to effectively and professionally communicate with elected officials, business owners/CEO’s, homeowners associations, media, and others, while remaining committed regardless of the outcome of such conversations. I look forward to seeing Logan take on the challenges as Mayor of Fishers with his can do attitude, and proven history of using ideas and opinions from the public (supporters or otherwise) choose the best course of action. I support Logan Day For Mayor!
This is VERY exciting news. I have known Mr. Day for several years in various capacities. Logan Day has earned my respect through insightful leadership, integrity, and his commitment to make well informed decisions. I believe he has the knowledge, skills, experience, and passion for the community, which are necessary to be successful in the important leadership role as Mayor of Fishers. I am a long-time Fishers resident and look forward to supporting his style of leadership as well as the strong platform Mr. Day has announced.
I am very excited for the new direction coming to Fishers! We need a leader for the people.
We are so happy Logan Day decided to run for Mayor of Fishers! We think he has the right vision for our city, and we need leadership that respects the wishes of the residents. Logan Day has our support!
