Mike Ryan…Leadership that Delivers

Courthouse Square. This project needed management. It got it. Cost-effective team decisions produced the $30 million building on time and under budget!

Juvenile Justice. The Justice Center will be built and operated with no new taxes! As Board Chair, I took the lead for swift, sure, compassionate juvenile justice. We will protect our community and offer a compassionate hand up for youth seeking help

Privacy Protection and E-Government Innovation. I am convinced we can expand taxpayer services using new technology. However, people’s privacy comes first.

Growth Management & Quality of Life. We are in Phase 2 of a comprehensive county growth management plan. I am working to bring our community together. I take positive steps to protect and expand our open space and parks. It’s part of what makes me tick. It’s part of our legacy.

Dear Marion County Voters:

I love this job! It is an honor to serve you. I’ve worked hard to produce positive results for our community. It would be a privilege to continue working on your behalf.

I’m determined, I’m dedicated. My priorities match Marion County’s.

Thank you.

Mike Ryan
