Abdul-Hakim Shabazz is a local political commentator, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Indianapolis and writes a subscription-based newsletter called the Cheat Sheet.

In a recent Cheat Sheet, Shabazz claims he had heard Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness was a finalist to replace outgoing Indiana Chamber of Commerce President Kevin Brinegar, but decided to take his name out of consideration.

So, was our current Mayor of Fishers in the mix to become the state’s Chamber President?

“It was an incredible opportunity and I was flattered to be considered but I have more I want to accomplish here in Fishers before I consider leaving,” Fadness wrote in a statement to LarryInFishers.

Scott Fadness was unopposed in the Republican primary this year and is also unopposed in the November general election for another fourt-year term as Mayor of Fishers.
