As the mayor - and as a lifelong resident of Evansville - I take immense pride in the diversity and resilience that define us. I am especially proud of our collective efforts to create opportunities for all people, ensuring that every voice and every story is heard.

That's why I support Greater Evansville’s powerful cultural movement, e is for everyone. This initiative is about more than just words; it’s about creating real spaces for connection, contribution, and celebration. Our mission is to offer a platform where everyone, regardless of background, can discover something or someone new, find their own unique way to give back, and celebrate the diversity of opportunities here.

And our festivals, events, and faith communities will provide you wonderful opportunities to connect with others and build lasting relationships.

I encourage you to embrace Evansville as your new home; together, we can bring to life the true meaning of e is for everyone, creating a place where all are welcome.
