As we grow closer to the filing deadline for Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board another candidate has thrown his hat in the ring.  Greg Lannan, a local Republican Party supporter in the past, and currently serving on the Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals, has announced he will run as an at-large candidate in Delaware Township.  He made the announcement in a Facebook post Wednesday morning.

Lannan and his wife Megan have recently become parents and “my wife and I are proud to raising our son in the community that has given us so many incredible opportunities.”  He says he is running to support students, parents and teachers.

Lannan currently works as a director of business development and marketing for a local firm.  He cites parental involvement, educational transparency, sound fiscal management and helping students excel academically as centerpieces of his campaign.

Greg Lannan was born and raised in Fishers and is a 2009 graduate of Fishers High School.

In this at-large election, voters choose from candidates running within their township, but all voters cast ballots in each township race.  The deadline to file as a school board candidate is Thursday, noon,  June 20th.
