Gary Fox- R



Why are you running for office? Logansport has given up so much for me and my family and I want to give back. Jobs are number one and the local government must help develop the economy while supporting law enforcement to be tough on crime. Cooperation between the city and county governments will have to be leveraged and downtown development must be motivated with less restrictive zoning practices to give businesses the anchor needed to build on.
