LETTER OF INTENT FROM 3RD WARD CITY COUNCILÂ CANDIDATE ANNA MELCHER Â
Dear City County Observer Readers
I’m seeking office for City Council 3rd Ward. In 2015. Â I retired from the Community Action Program of Evansville as the Adult Education Learning Center Specialist. I’m compassionate about education and desire to inspire people to dream more, learn more, want more and do more for themselves and their community. In I returned to the United States in 2001 from living abroad.
Before retirement, I was employed by the Department of Defense, Department of Education, an insurance and banking institution, a legal and medical organization and as a nurse. I have traveled more than 50% of the states within the United States and lived abroad in Europe and Africa for several years.
In 2008, I married  Vanderburgh County Commissioner Stephen R. Melcher.  As my mentor, Commissioner Melcher has helped me to appreciate the full meaning of “People Serving People”. I enjoy sharing and supporting the issues that impact 3rd Ward, our communities, and the City of Evansville. I have been able to witness this city’s growth from growing up here, graduating, leaving, and returning to a city that I respect. I want to be a part of its continued growth and development. I want to continue to build upon the hard work of the previous 3rd Ward leadership and take the City Council to the next level by working in a harmonious, bipartisan collaboration with the next group of office holders.
I also want to execute a vision of leadership, visibility, and cooperation with elected officials who are dedicated to the advancement and well-being of our city. I want to be able to work with other organizations in the metro area to continue the upward bound movement of our communities, not only 3rd Ward but for our city as a whole.
As the City Council leader for 3rd Ward, I plan to maximize the talents and experiences of my fellow office holders to ensure that Evansville builds and maintains a reputation of excellence. The next four years are critical for the leadership of Evansville and the City Council. It is our responsibility to ensure that we create an environment to encourage people to become and stay motivated and active in the forthcoming politics of change. I am looking forward to leveraging the proper channels and people to create this type of environment. With my vast and multicultural experience, I know what it takes to have an effective community. With the help of the people, elected officers, and the entire City Council, I know that we can continue to make 3rd Ward a community that people will want to be a part of and live in proudly.
I look forward to campaigning for City Council 3rd Ward, and hope I am given the opportunity to expand on the works done over the past several years and serve you and the City of Evansville.
Respectfully
Anna Melcher
3rd Ward City Council Candidate
