MY VISION FOR CARMEL

Building a Stronger Community

When COVID struck Carmel in 2020, the City was shut down, staff and budgets were cut and many services curtailed. Our priceless public spaces, already needing attention, would have continued to decay.  But, it was then that Carmel Cares was started as a grassroots volunteer organization to look after the town. Under Dale's leadership, it grew into a powerful force for good in our community and beyond and Carmel came out of COVID looking better than ever. City Leadership now says they couldn't run the town without it.

​

What if that kind of thinking could be applied to the entire City Government? What if the power of hundreds of residents could be harnessed to supplement City staff and help finance projects that are beyond the scope of the City's budget? What if the residents, businesses, and City were truly marching to the same drummer, working together to build a stronger community. 

​

That is my vision and that is what I will work towards as your Mayor.

GET TO KNOW DALE​

Dale is out and about Carmel 7 days a week making improvements to the town himself, managing professional contractors working on projects, supporting the work of other volunteers, and meeting with residents and businesses to discuss how Carmel Cares can help make Carmel more beautiful, safe, and more inviting. You'll see him in his orange Jeep Gladiator pickup truck. He loves to talk and will be happy to discuss anything that's on your mind.
