🚒 We felt like little kids playing superheroes getting a tour of South Bend Fire’s new Rescue One rig today!

But in reality, this apparatus is serious business. Loaded with specialized tools and equipment, Rescue One is designed to respond to nearly every type of emergency with its four highly trained personnel.

This new rig replaces a 2007 Pierce Enforcer and represents another important investment in public safety and emergency response for our community.

Thank you to the incredible men and women of the South Bend Fire Department for the work you do every single day to protect our city. ❤️‍🔥

Exciting news for South Bend! 🌳🏀🚲

A major transformation is coming to Kennedy Park through an $18 million investment supported by the Federal Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) program. This project will expand and enhance the park with upgraded amenities, improved accessibility, and better recreational opportunities for residents of all ages.

What makes this especially exciting is that ORLP funding is awarded nationally, and this is only the second ORLP project in Indiana. The program is administered locally through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, making this a huge win for our community and a strong example of what collaboration can accomplish.

Projects like this help strengthen neighborhoods, improve quality of life, and create more welcoming public spaces for families, kids, and visitors alike. 👏 👏

🗳️ MORE PEOPLE ARE VOTING — AND THAT MATTERS. 🇺🇸

It is encouraging to see increased voter turnout here in St. Joseph County. Every additional voter means another voice being heard and another neighbor participating in shaping the future of our community.

Indiana has historically ranked near the bottom nationally in voter turnout, though recent years have shown improvement and growing civic engagement across our state. That makes local participation even more important.

Your vote matters because:
✨ local races are often decided by just a handful of votes
✨ decisions made by local leaders directly impact our neighborhoods, schools, roads, public safety, and healthcare
✨ democracy works best when more people participate

No matter who you voted for, thank you for taking the time to show up, stay informed, and make your voice heard.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

The Indiana primary election saw the highest voter turnout since 2016. How does this data compare to previous primary elections? See link below ⬇️

Supporters describe it as an effort to reduce fraud, tighten eligibility checks, and make sure benefits go to people who qualify; critics argue it could make it harder for vulnerable residents to keep or obtain coverage and food support.

Friday evening, I was honored to speak at South Bend’s annual Fallen Officer Memorial as our community gathered to remember the brave officers who gave their lives in the line of duty.

During National Police Week, we pause to recognize not only those we have lost, but also the officers and families who continue to make countless sacrifices to keep our communities safe every single day.

The memorial was a powerful reminder that behind every badge is a family, a story, and a commitment to service larger than oneself. May we never forget the courage of those we have lost, and may we continue to support the men and women who serve today. 💙

As utility costs continue to rise, I want to make sure residents know about every available tool and resource that may help manage monthly bills.

How wonderful to see students at South Bend Washington High School continuing a long tradition of hands-on agriculture, gardening, and community growing on the Westside. 🌱

The new “Panther Patch” urban garden, built alongside Unity Gardens Inc., is more than just raised beds and fresh mulch. It is students building community, expanding access to fresh food, learning practical skills, and investing in their neighborhood.

Huge credit to the WHS Green Thumb Club for the hard work, teamwork, and pride that brought this project to life. Excited to watch Panther Patch continue to grow. 🌻🍅

Congratulations on:
