State Representative Robin Shackleford Issues Statement about Mayoral Primary

Indianapolis – Democratic Mayoral Candidate and State Representative Robin Shackleford (D-Indianapolis) issued the following statement in the wake of Mayor Joe Hogsett’s announcement that he is seeing a third term: 

“I welcome the exchange of ideas that the coming months of the campaign will bring. As I said when I announced my candidacy, I am running for mayor because I am the right person to address the issues facing Indianapolis that have not been solved in the past eight years – issues such as tackling root causes of crime; creating a world class workforce; prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion; and increasing transportation connectivity and infrastructure. I bring legislative leadership, extensive knowledge about healthcare and the criminal justice system, and the experience of being a lifelong Indianapolis resident to the campaign. 

“I look forward to hearing from the citizens of Indianapolis about their biggest concerns and their ideas in the months leading up to the primary and I will be releasing specific policy proposals in the near future.”
