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.

Ben Hemphill has a long history of volunteering his time to the Town of Erie, serving on the Sustainability Advisory Board, the Home Rule Charter Commission, and Chair of the Planning Commission. He is no stranger to the demands of public service.

I would be thrilled to have Ben join me on Town Council, bringing the same thoughtful analysis that he has demonstrated throughout his service. Ben is an active listener who will serve District 2 and the entire Town of Erie faithfully and transparently.

Please support Ben to represent District 2 on Erie Town Council!

District 2 is fortunate to have Ben Hemphill running to represent on Erie Town Council. Ben has proven his commitment to serving the community at many tables including Chairing the Planning Commission, and helping to write Erie’s Home Rule Charter after being elected to the Home Rule Commission as well. Ben brings new energy to the Council with dynamic ideas and a commitment to representing community priorities. Please join me in supporting Ben Hemphill for Erie Town Council, District 2.

Ben Hemphill brings the experience, thoughtfulness, and practical problem-solving Erie needs on Town Council. As an engineer, Planning Commissioner, and longtime community leader, Ben understands how to tackle complex challenges while protecting what makes Erie such a special place to live. I’m proud to endorse Ben and know he’ll bring integrity, collaboration, and a commitment to Erie’s future to the Council.

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.

After nine years of public service to Erie—including 4.5 years on the Planning Commission as Vice Chair and four years on the Town Council during the pandemic—I know what local government costs. My family can attest to the sacrifice required.

Growing up in a military family, I learned that leadership means honesty, integrity, and duty, even when it's unpopular. That's why I fully endorse Ben Hemphill for Erie Town Council, District 2.

As an engineer, Planning Commissioner, and our neighbor, Ben brings the same values that guided my tenure:

Transparency over spin

Resident safety over corporate interests

Smart growth that preserves Erie's character

Affordability for families who call us home

Public office exists to serve residents, not the other way around. Having served on DRCOG and the Consortium of Cities, I trust Ben to represent Erie's interests beyond our borders.

Vote Ben Hemphill this election. Our town deserves a leader who understands what this role demands.

I had the opportunity to serve on the Sustainability Advisory Board with Ben before he moved on to the Planning Commission. He always took the time to thoroughly research any issue. His ideas and proposals showed that he had carefully considered the ramifications of proposed solutions to complicated problems. He will make a well-informed Council Member who cares passionately for the town and the environment and is willing to listen to all sides before proposing or voting on solutions.
