Commissioner Musgrave Announces She’s Running For Re-Election as County Commissioner
Yesterday Vanderburgh County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave formally announced that she is running for re-election in front of an impressive gathering of family and friends at the Civic Center.
Commissioner Musgrave stated that “It’s an exciting time to live and work in Vanderburgh County. You can see the growth in our community while we preserve the nature of our rural areas. I have worked hard to improve our community for us, our children, and our grandchildren”.
But there is more to do, and I am ready, willing, and able to work for you to complete what we have begun. Today, I announced I am running for re-election as County Commissioner in 2020.Â
Over the past four years, I have delivered for you on key issues:
- Tremendous progress on roads. I worked hard to initiate more than $80 million in paving and road reconstruction. We are well on our way to improving our roads—complete with trails and sidewalks—while at the same time paving and patching more than ever in our history. You can see the progress for yourself! The Commission’s progress was recognized by the Association of Indiana Counties with the 2019 County Achievement Award.
- Jobs and Economic Development:Â I initiated 6 job fairs so far, matching local employers to folks looking for a job. This is more than any previous Commission has ever done! I supported new construction and helped create new jobs at the Vanderburgh Industrial Park, a real win for the whole community.
- Slashing Bureaucratic Regulations:  As Commissioner, I’ve approached the job of cutting back over-reaching, growth-killing ordinances and regulations like never before. My work got this effort off the ground and onto the floor of the Commission. Major reductions in bureaucratic red tape have been achieved, helping to solve the affordable housing issue here in our community.
- Bringing Connectivity to Whole County. Access to the Internet is critical to our community’s success, whether you live Downtown, in a subdivision, or on a farm. I am serious about attracting broadband investment to allow everyone to compete in today’s economy, attend school electronically, or participate in telemedicine. Our focus on broadband earned “Broadband Ready†state designation. I initiated a three-county team that is currently hard at work to qualify for grants to help bring Broadband to all residents.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Vanderburgh County Commissioner for the past three years.
Your support has always been vital, and I ask for your continued support for a second term. You can donate or volunteer, but most of all: I ask for your vote.
