Still unsure of how to vote in the Indianapolis mayoral race today? We asked candidates three questions about violence, housing and the future of the city.
Mayor Joe Hogsett is seeking his third term as leader of Indianapolis, but several people want to unseat him.Joe Hogsett has been Indianapolis mayor since 2016 and is seeking to lead the city for a third term."We have a three-year, $150-million plan designed to interrupt and prevent violence wherever it can occur. We have record amounts of commitment to public safety personnel throughout the city. We're raising the pay of first-year officers to get more officers to join IMPD.
Everybody should be entitled to living a decent life. But the city of Indianapolis itself, they don't even take care of their property. And before the city of Indianapolis can talk about someone else's property we need to take care of our own backyard. That's where the homeless fall because you have people who can't afford housing... So I would work with each and every agency, you know.
Democrats Gregory Meriweather and Clif Marsiglio have dropped out of the race but their names still appear on the ballot.Jefferson Shreve is an Indianapolis businessman running for the Republican nomination.Shreve: "Violence is where we have to start. In the Shreve administration that is what we have to fix and we will fix it. With too many homicides and a whole lot more shootings that don't result in homicides but are just unacceptable.
Couch: "The first part is self control. And I don't know where people have gone but it seems like self control is just not there... I'd like to bring safety, listening skills, anger management and critical thinking into our community for anybody in Marion County in the city of Indianapolis, but also in our schools.
