Mentone resident Bobby Asher announced Friday that he is a candidate for the Mentone Town Council.
He has been knocking on doors to meet residents face-to-face inquiring as to their concerns and sharing his visions for the future of the town, according to a press release from Asher.
He is a homeowner, an 18-year resident and said he has great concern for the town he calls home. He is a certified EMT, has taken an active role in the Four Way Ambulance Service in Mentone for eight years and donated many long hours volunteering to help community residents, the release states.
Since attending a number of recent town council meetings, Asher has decided that Mentone needs “common sense leadership” and made that his campaign motto.
“I have been reading Indiana code and feel our town could benefit greatly if we would follow the regulations put forth for town governments,” he said.
Considering where tax income originates, he also plans to listen and communicate with residents, according to the release.
Election day is Nov. 3. The other three candidates are current board members Democrat Tim Croy and Republicans Jill Gross and Shelly Krueger.
