Thank You
Dear Friends:
Last night marked the conclusion of what has been a hard-fought, often contentious battle. Throughout this campaign, Democrats have brought forward innovative vision and displayed an unrelenting commitment to our city. We raised issues that have never been raised before and challenged the status quo at every turn. For that, I am very proud.
Melina Kennedy has been an inspirational and devoted leader in this charge, striving to forge a new way forward for our community. Her commitment to this city is unwavering, and I am confident she will continue to make a positive impact for the people of Indianapolis.
While we are all disheartened by the outcome of the race for mayor, it is important that we recognize our many successes as well.
Across the county, Democrats secured significant victories. I am pleased to congratulate Lawrence Mayor-elect Dean Jessup and Beech Grove Mayor-elect Dennis Buckley on their extraordinary campaigns. It will be Democrats that will now take these cities to new heights.
Also, as we move into 2012, we will do so with a Democratic majority on the City-County Council and four newly-elected, Democratic At-Large City-County Councilors: Zach Adamson, John Barth, Pam Hickman, and Leroy Robinson.
Thanks to your hard work, our incumbent Councilors performed well also. We will be blessed with the continued leadership of the following Councilors:
Councilor Jose Evans
Councilor Angela Mansfield
Councilor Maggie Lewis
Councilor Monroe Gray
Councilor Duke Oliver
Councilor Brian Mahern
Councilor Mary Moriarty Adams
Councilor Vernon Brown
And lastly, there will be several new faces on the City-County Council come January 1st. I’m happy to congratulate the following newly-elected members of the Indianapolis City-County Council:
Councilor-elect Joe Simpson
Councilor-elect Steve Talley
Councilor-elect Vop Osili
Councilor-elect Frank Mascari
I am proud of the work we have done, and I look forward to the great work we will continue to do together.
Democratically yours,
Ed Treacy
