Long read but with my opponent constantly spreading misinformation this is a must read!

The idea that Hobart Township is on the verge of being dissolved into another township is simply not grounded in reality. That claim is being used to create unnecessary fear rather than inform voters.
Yes, township government, like any level of service, can and should always look for ways to improve outreach and ensure residents understand what resources are available. But suggesting that Hobart Township is failing to the point of losing its existence is a significant exaggeration. Hobart Township is vibrant, active, and essential. We are nowhere near the threshold of dissolution. Spreading such misinformation only hurts the very people who might need our services by making them feel their local support system is unstable.
Township assistance in Indiana operates under strict state guidelines. Eligibility requirements, documentation standards, and oversight from the State are all in place to ensure accountability and fairness. That means not every request can be approved, but it does not mean people are being ignored or underserved. In fact, trustee office regularly connect residents with additional community resources when direct assistance isn’t an option.
While some claim the community is "unaware" of our services, our doors remain open to anyone in crisis. We are constantly working to bridge the communication gap, but effective government requires a partnership with the people.
"The strength of a Trustee’s office isn't measured by how much it spends, but by how effectively it manages the resources of the taxpayers to catch those who fall through the cracks."
If awareness is an issue, that’s something to work on, not a reason to mischaracterize the effectiveness or integrity of the office. Constructive solutions like better communication, increased visibility, and community partnerships move us forward. Fear, based messaging does not.
Hobart Township is not disappearing. It is not on the brink. What it needs, like many public services, is continued engagement, honest conversation, and practical improvements, not inflated claims meant to sway voters.
On May 5, the choice is clear. We can continue with a leadership that understands the complexities of the law, maintains a balanced budget, and treats every applicant with dignity, or we can risk the stability of our township on unproven claims.
We don't need to reinvent the wheel; we need to keep it turning for the people of Hobart, Lake Station, and New Chicago.
Voters deserve facts, not spin.
