Read the candidacy announcement from Evan Gardner:
The people of Avon deserve more and that is why I am running for Mayor. With our current administration, everything has remained the same for many years. I want to change that. My two main goals are to increase safety and property values.
Our number one issue is the roads are falling apart. We need to invest a lot of time and money into road repairs and repaving many sections. On top of that is cleaning up the overgrown vegetation along the roadsides and in the drainage ditches. It makes it very difficult to see things while traveling and we have seen flooding because of debris. Lastly, in the past year we have seen two major house fires that our first responders struggled to get water to. In both cases the homes were total losses because of lack of water. This is beyond awful and should never have happened. We must have more fire hydrants and a better water system for the safety of our residents.
A little bit about me. I am not a politician by any means and believe that career politics have destroyed many parts of our country. I want to be able to represent the people and not be the person that takes over. My wife and I both spend a lot of time volunteering through out our community and have for many years. Giving back is very important to us and that is what I hope to do as Mayor of Avon.
