The City-County Observer Encourages The Candidacy of Ben Trockman for Evansville City CouncilÂ
The City of Evansville is in an election year and rumors of candidacies are filling the air. One of the whisper candidates that is getting much attention is a possible candidacy announcement by Ben Trockman.
During the last several days we posted comments in our “IS IT TRUE” section that Ben Trockman is considering running for the First Ward seat on the Evansville City Council.  We received several off the record comments concerning the possibility of him running for City Council. The consensus of those comments was in support of Ben’s candidacy. A couple of people suggested that he might not be up to the task because he is physically challenged.
Ben Trockman’s unfortunate accident in 2006 that robbed him of his mobility at a young age is well known. He was as an enthusiastic competitor in athletics while at Harrison High School. Since his accident, he has channeled that competitive spirit into activities that have helped many people who face similar challenges to his own. Rather than settle in and live a silent life, Ben Trockman moved through his rehabilitation and went on to complete a bachelor’s degree from Evansville’s University of Southern Indiana.
Even though he has held several responsible positions in his working career he still found time to work tirelessly for charities like the Easter Seals campaign and serves as an advocate for those with disabilities. Ben even organized a job fair for people with disabilities and surprisingly landed a spot at Evansville’s Old National Bank that feeds his passion.
Ben Trockman has proven to be an effective communicator with a national platform. If he should choose to run for the Evansville City Council and win, we predict that he will immediately become the most qualified ambassador of the physically challenged that our community has ever known.
An accident that would have defeated many has made Ben Trockman a better person with a passion for his community and the physically challenged. Evansville would be lucky to have such a person to serve on the Evansville Cty Council. He is wise beyond his years and carries with him the kind of wisdom that only can be gained in trial by fire situations.
Ben Trockman is well spoken, intelligent and respected?
The City-County Observer encourages the candidacy of Ben Trockman for Evansville City Council. Â Win or lose Ben Trockman will have a chance to prove that “E Is For Everyone.”
Ben would do a great job as a Councilman. I highly encourage him to seek the position. He has the knowledge and temperament to become an exceptional leader.
