John DeLucia is a Navy veteran, served 8 years on the Hamilton Southeastern School Board, and now wants to serve on the Fishers City Council.

DeLucia announced his candidacy Friday for the North Central District council seat, currently held by Democrat Crystal Neumann.  DeLucia will be running as a Republican in the May 2nd primary election.

“I have long recognized Fishers as a great place to live and work” said DeLucia in a campaign news release. “I chose to settle here with my family and I want to bring that experience to the city council, as well as a vision for the future to encourage others to join our community. I try to serve others in all that I do, and that is just the type of attitude I will carry with me to the Fishers City Council.”

DeLucia says he is running as another way to serve his community.  “I previously served on the school board, and now my goal is to help grow Fishers, while fostering our important existing relationships with our small and medium sized businesses,”  DeLucia said.

Local charitable work and volunteering as a mentor are examples of Mr. Delucia’s local community involvement.
