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.
