Rick Davis, the Democratic Party candidate for City of Evansville mayor, will be holding a series of Town Hall meetings starting Thursday, Jan. 6.

Davis said he wants to hear from Evansville residents regarding important issues facing the City of Evansville, and said he wants to hear how his neighbors would like to move the city forward.

“When I talk to residents of the City of Evansville, they tell me they feel like they’ve not had significant input in projects the city has undertaken or is planning,” said Davis. “I want to listen to what our neighbors have to say about how their tax dollars are being spent. I want to see how, together, we can make Evansville better.”

The first Town Hall will be held Thursday at the C.K. Newsome Center, 100 E. Walnut St., from 6 to 7:30 p.m. All of the Town Hall meetings will be moderated by retired television personality Hal Wolford.

Wolford is best known locally for his “Back Roads” television series, which aired on WEHT Channel 25 from 1987 to 1998.

“I think having Hal host these meetings is a bonus because he knows so much about Evansville and the entire Tri-State area,” Davis said.

Davis will be holding Town Hall meetings throughout the city to listen to as many views as possible.

“No matter where you live – south, north, east or west – we are one city,” said Davis. “Your opinion matters to me. I want to hear from you. Please feel free to come and express your views.”

Davis, 41, was elected the Vanderburgh County Treasurer in 2008 and previously served as the Chief Deputy in the Vanderburgh County Recorder’s Office from 2002-2008. He is a 1987 graduate of Reitz High School and has a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications/Emphasis in Journalism from the University of Southern Indiana. While working full-time, Davis went to night school and earned his Master of Science Degree in Public Service Administration from the University of Evansville in 2006.

Davis began his professional career in the newspaper business. He served as a reporter and editor for several Tri-State newspapers, including The Evansville Courier & Press, The Henderson (Ky.) Gleaner, the Newburgh Register and The Boonville Standard.

Here is the schedule for the Rick Davis For Mayor Town Hall meetings:

Thursday, Jan. 6, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., C.K. Newsome Center.
Monday, Jan. 10, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at Independence Baptist Church, 2301 W. Virginia St.

  1. Excellent. I plan on being at all of them! Have a lot of ideas that I think are in sync with the vision that Rick Davis has for Evansville. Very excited about the future!

    On a side note, I’ll sure be glad when that advertisement banner for Winnecke expires. I just can’t looking at the Riddler that much.

    • Since you apparently think you have something to offer municipal government, you may wish to avoid making derogatory remarks about a mayoral candidate who has better than a 50% chance of winning the 2011 election. But then maybe besides all your self-perceived valuable resources, you also possess psychic powers of political prognostication.

      • I’ll take care of myself and you take care of yourself, deal? Especially given that you hide behind that sn.

        I like how you make that smart arse comment about pyschic powers but then turn around and project Winnecke to have a > 50% chance of winning. That’s amazing given that Winnecke himself hasn’t even declared yet. You need to return your Magic 8 Ball back to Walmart quickly.

  2. Evansville Convention and Visitors Bureau???

    Dig deeper, Further back, Exotic foreign vacation junkets, Booze, Drunken blackouts, Follow the money, Friendly No-bid contracts, Nepotism, interview former board members and staff they want to talk and have much to say, next stop Redevelopment Commission???

  3. this will be an excellent chance to meet Rick and hear his vision for Evansville, politics as usual is over

  5. Honesty, fairness, and integrity are far more important than political affiliation.

    This Republican would happily vote for Rick Davis.

    • Well, your vote likely will offset one Democrat vote for the Republican candidate. There’ll be a lot of “cross-over voting” this November, it seems.

  6. I like what I have heard so far from Rick Davis, and I would cross party-lines to vote for Rick Davis.
