I’m proud to support Ben Hemphill for Erie Town Council, District 2.

Ben has already demonstrated his commitment to Erie through his service on the Home Rule Commission and Planning Commission. He understands Erie’s Unified Development Code and Comprehensive Plan and knows how the decisions we make today will shape our community for years to come.

Ben does his homework, listens, and understands the complexities of responsible growth.

He knows Erie. He’s done the work. He’s ready to serve.

I am excited to endorse Ben Hemphill for Erie Town Council. After working with Ben on the Erie Home Rule Charter Commission, I appreciate his strong character, as well as his data-driven approach to gathering information and making decisions. I have seen him take the same approach since then, in his other endeavors, such as on the Town of Erie Planning Commission, and I believe he would be a much-needed and welcome addition to our Town Council.
