David Reitz Ballard Introduction

My name is David Reitz Ballard and I am running in the Democratic Primary for Evansville City Council in the 4^th Ward.

An Evansville native, I graduated with honors from F.J. Reitz High School in 2008 and Indiana University in 2012. I lived my entire youth in the downtown area, the 4^th Ward. I know the area well, and would like to see it improved in any way possible.

I am a Probation Officer with the Juvenile Division of the Vanderburgh County Superior Court. I have seen, first-hand, the destructive effects of violence and drugs in our inner-city community.

Evansville is my home. My family is from Evansville. Both of my parents are dedicated civil servants. My father is a municipal director, and my mother is a teacher at Washington Middle School.

I want to make a difference in Evansville, and in the 4^th Ward. I want the I.U. Medical School to be built, and I would like to see the Haynie’s Corner Arts District further developed.  If elected to the Council, I will help shape the future of the 4^th Ward, while maintaining it’s diversity.

I believe in an open, transparent government. I believe in an accountable government. I believe in worker’s rights and the power of the people.

My name is David Reitz Ballard, and I want to represent the 4^th Ward of Evansville, Indiana.

David Reitz Ballard lives in the Haynie’s Corner Arts District of Downtown Evansville. He can be contacted with questions or for fundraising support at 812-480-2402.
