about the credit river residents for change

A group of concerned residents have formed the Credit River Residents for Change (CRRC), an independent political committee allowed by state law.  The Credit River mayor’s seat and two city council member seats are up for election this November.  The CRRC supports the election of current City Council Member Bill Markert for mayor, and current City Council Member Abe Zanto and Bruce Wise for the two council seats.  The CRRC opposes the campaigns of Chris Kostik and John Mesenbrink for mayor, the campaign of Brad Aho for city council, and any other candidates for mayor or city council.  The CRRC’s citywide campaign is being conducted to elect Bill Markert as Credit River mayor and Abe Zanto and Bruce Wise as city council members who will listen to residents, be transparent, be fiscally conservative, collaborate with Scott County to search for solutions on aging septic systems and wells without constructing city sewer and water lines, and maintain Credit River’s rural character.

 

The members of the Credit River Residents for Change come from all walks of life and from all corners of the city.  Collectively, we regularly attend and speak at city council meetings, serve on citizen advisory committees (including the committee researching the possibility of remodeling city hall), and participate in citizen groups.  We have witnessed first-hand how three current council members have pursued their own agenda without listening to residents’ input and concerns, and we simply do not like what we see.  This is why we formed the Credit River Residents for Change.  Responsible leadership is needed and the time has come for residents to be heard and your vote is your voice.  We urge you to vote for Bill Markert for mayor and Abe Zanto and Bruce Wise for city council.
