Why I Am Running For Public Office
By: Nicholas Wildeman
 First and foremost, please allow me to begin by stating that I love the Tristate area. I have been very fortunate that Evansville, and the surrounding cities, towns, counties, etc., have offered me many opportunities. My parents worked very hard to afford to put me through school at St. Philips and then Mater Dei. It was their work ethic(s) that led me to charge through a Bachelor’s Degree of Business Administration and a Master’s Degree of Public Administration, both at the University of Southern Indiana.
It is the same drive that fueled me through my collegiate endeavors that also energizes me regarding public policy. I am not beholden to any dominant party ideology – Instead, I am a student of strong fiscal understanding and sound public policy. I understand decisions must sometimes be made that may not always please everyone around me, but I feel my educational training, as well as my professional experiences, make me uniquely qualified to serve Vanderburgh County as Councilman.
I am excited to potentially have the chance to serve Vanderburgh County as Councilman. I realize that the decisions made today will have lasting effects on both my son and currently unborn child. It is that realization and focus on the future that I will carry with me in my duties as Councilman. Please consider helping make my dream of serving Vanderburgh County a reality.
God Bless,

Mr Wildeman ,if elected remember that you work for the people who elected you to hold office
I understand mayor twinki winki wants you as a commissioner,that is what scares me cause I don’t trust the winki dinky
Hello,
I appreciate your concern. My response would be that as Posey County Auditor, I worked hard for Posey County – not for any individual interests. I was not elected by an individual, and thus I will not work only for one individual. I will carry that same mentality with me in my duties as Vanderburgh County Councilman. It would be reckless and irresponsible for someone to be elected by a majority of the populous, yet only serve an individual. While I have met the mayor on a few occasions, and respect him as a person and as a community leader, I will not be bound to serving only one person’s ideology. I vow that I will represent Vanderburgh County in a manner that is consistent with my educational and professional experiences. Again, thank you for your concern and feel free to contact me at at any time with any future concerns you may have regarding the direction of Vanderburgh County governmental operations.
Have a great day,
-Nick
