At Large City Council candidate Gurinder Singh has announced a pledge – he is making a commitment to donate his city  council salary, if elected, to charities benefiting police and fire department workers. In a news release issued by his campaign, Singh says his council salary  would go half to the Indiana Fishers Fire Foundation and half to the Central Indiana Police Foundation, which provides gunshot trauma kits and other resources.

Based on the 2019 city salary ordinance, Fishers City Council members are paid just over $20,000 per year.

Singh is running in the Republican primary against the three incumbents currently holding at-large city council seats – Cecilia Coble, Rich Block and Todd Zimmerman.

The primary election is set for Tuesday, May 7th.
