10 thoughts on “Republican businessman Shreve enters Indianapolis mayoral race

  1. Thank you! Jeff is a great candidate!
    I look forward to hearing his ideas and vision. We need leadership that is focused on what Indianapolis needs to become a great city again, and less on whatever our current mayor is focused on.

    1. Riley Z, I agree completely. It’s a tired narrative that would not work in Indianapolis.

  2. I don’t really see how the “woke politics of the far left” are “driving away opportunity” or “destroying our neighborhoods,” but OK. You can call Hogsett many things but “woke” isn’t one of them. This kind of language may work in most Indiana cities, but I don’t think so in Indianapolis.

  3. I come downtown to work everyday and it is an epic disaster. I moved here in 2003 and it was a vibrant city at that time. It has monumentally deteriorated under Hogsett’s complete lack of leadership and the homelessness problem is simply awful. Constantly accosted on my way to and from work. Very sad, I will back Jeff Shreve and certainly hope he can bring this city back to its former luster.

    1. Rachel S.
      Agreed completely. I moved I here in the mid 80’s when downtown was
      vibrant, clean, safe, and THE LEVEL OF OPTIMISM was through the roof.
      That has changed dramatically over the last few several years.
      Not like that anymore.

      Downtown looks drab & dingy, unkept, homeless everywhere along Illinois Street
      from the bus station up to Washington Street, closed store fronts,
      and it doesn’t feel safe anymore.

      Monument Circle’s greatness is not there anymore either for the same reasons.
      Monument Circle is the place that should really be a center of greatness
      with excitement and vibrancy.
      No other space downtown represents our city more.

      I hope downtown can achieve that level of greatness and optimism again.
      We need a leader with vision that can get the
      private sector on board also.

      I don’t know much about Jefferson Shreve, but I hope he has a vision and
      a great plan. The R’s must step up!!

      It will be an uphill battle as Indianapolis has become a Dem strong.
      I

    2. Downtown might indeed be drab and dingy now, no small part due to Hogsett’s ineptitude, but to claim that it was “vibrant, clean, safe” in the mid 80s? That’s nutty. It was India-no-place at least until Union Station came along. A “graveyard with lights.”

      With nobody downtown after 5:15pm even on Fridays, I guess it was at least easy to clean, I’ll grant you that.

    3. Lauren B.

      Always great to read your comments. Your Common sense is always appreciated.

      However, I would very respectfully disagree on the optimism and cleanliness.
      There was a level of optimism on the direction that downtown was going.

      If you get a chance, come downtown. Monument Circle is in need of
      attention and investment. It’s sad to see how this block area has
      went down hill.

      Then drive along Illinois Street from the bus station up to Ohio Street.
      It’s deteriorated. An area that out of towners usually must traverse.

      We must innovate and think outside the box.

  4. Hogsett doesn’t seem to understand that as mayor you have to sweat the small stuff everyday. That means cleaning, repairing and policing. He’s looking for home runs when those type of opportunities are rare. Do the things people expect a mayor to do each and every day. That’s how so many small cities and towns have had a difference for their citizens. Look at Greenwood and Franklin to see what actual hard work looks like.
