EVANSVILLE MAYORAL CANDIDATE MICHAEL DAUGHERTY ANNOUNCES POLITICAL PLATFORM

AUGUST 25, 2023

Obviously, my opponents have realized my candidacy as valid as their attacks have started. I’m here to put my campaign for Mayor of Evansville into perspective.

After much prayerful thought, and talking to family, friends, and supporters, I have come to the conclusion to make the following public commitments to you, the citizens.

First of all, I joined the race for Mayor of Evansville because I know Evansville is at the crossroads of economic and financial peril. I know that with the help of the citizens of Evansville combined with my educational background, life experiences, and business background, we can truly bring Evansville back from the current financial crisis.

One of the reasons why I ran for Mayor of Evansville is to help stop the financial and economic decline of Evansville during the last twelve (12) years.

If elected, I hereby commit to the citizens of Evansville that I will be a one (1) term mayor who will take a political non-partisan approach to revitalizing Evansville’s infrastructure and stagnant economy. I want to stress that I will not be a typical politician but a public servant who will practice “Good Public Policy” and therefore will be a “Good Steward Of The Public Trust”.

If I’m fortunate to be elected Mayor of Evansville I hope that you understand that I understand that I will work for you and that I will be an employee of you, the citizens of Evansville.

As your next mayor, you can expect to see me either in the neighborhoods looking at issues that need addressing, or behind my desk making sound business decisions within our budget restraints and not in front of the camera promoting myself or a self-serving political agenda.

My campaign slogan is “People Over Politics”, which simply means, I will govern with the US in mind, not me!

You can expect me to govern without bias or political affiliation. It is important to point out that if I’m elected, Mayor of Evansville  I am not going to be a “Good Mayor but I pledge that I “Will Be A Great Mayor”

Your vote is not a vote for me, but a vote for you! The days of political patronage, nepotism, and “Party Over People” will end with my administration.

Finally, I would like to point out that there are many talented people currently working for our city and I will ensure you that they are retained and rewarded for their devotion and hard work for the citizens of Evansville. I will also commit to appointing the most qualified people for numerous boards and commissions, without regard to political affiliations.

However, I shall be appointing a new Police Chief and Fire Chief and expect to find their replacement within the current ranks.

When I am elected Mayor of Evansville, get ready to roll up your sleeves because we have a lot of work to do correcting our public safety issues, addressing our serious financial problems, revitalizing our parks, and repairing our streets and sidewalks that have been ignored during the last 12 years.

I will always choose TRUTH OVER  POPULARITY!  My administration will truly be an administration for ALL people of Evansville.
