A local Political Action Committee (PAC), the Fiscal Conservatives of Hamilton County, is endorsing a Democrat in the upcoming Fishers city election.  The group announced Friday that it is supporting Jocelyn Vare in the Fishers City Council At-Large race.

There are four at-large candidates, with the three candidates tallying the most votes winning a seat on the council.  The other three candidates are all Republican incumbents – Rich Block, Cecilia Coble and Todd Zimmerman.  All registered voters in the city of Fishers are eligible to cast ballots in the at-large council election.

“As we have witnessed time and time again within HamCo,” the PAC said in its announcement, “the executives, be it the commissioners at the county level or the mayors at the municipal level, wish to stack their respective councils with rubber stamp supporters.”

“At FCoHC we think this has led to much of the unrestrained spending and uncontrollable debt accrued at the municipal level and feel that cycle must be broken,” the statement went on to say. “We must elect independent minded councilors that put the interests of the citizens ahead of the desires of the mayors and their allies.”

The Fiscal Conservatives of Hamilton County describes the goal of the PAC this way – to help identify, recruit, and offer campaign assistance and funding to fiscal conservatives running in Hamilton County Elections.  The PAC Chairman is Bill Smythe from Fishers.
