Fishers Councilman to Run for Indiana Secretary of State

Charlie White After 10 months of touring nearly 70 counties in the Hoosier State as an exploratory candidate, Charlie White, Republican Fishers Town Councilman, has announced his intention to run for Indiana Secretary of State (SOS) in 2010. Todd Rokita, who is currently in the SOS office, is term limited from seeking this office again.

Charlie White stated, “During his time, Secretary Rokita has led remarkable and innovative changes ranging from Voter ID laws to aggressively prosecuting companies that would try to scam Hoosiers out of their hard earned savings. In choosing to run for this office, I intend to continue to build upon his legacy. There is still much more we can do to make our elections better, our investments safer and our state a better place in which to do business.”

Charlie, who resides in Fishers with his son William, currently is serving his third term as town councilor for the Town of Fishers. In that role on the Fishers Town Council, he has tackled areas such as economic development, public safety, road improvements and parks development as Fishers’ population has nearly doubled to just over 68,000 residents in the last 10 years. Fishers, which is Northeast of Indianapolis and located in Hamilton County, has been named the 10th best place to raise a family in the United States by Money Magazine in 2008 and 11th best place to relocate in the United States by Forbes Magazine in 2009.

Charlie has been a practicing attorney in the public and private sector for over 14 years and graduated from Wabash College in 1992 followed by his law degree from Valparaiso School of Law in 1995.

Charlie states, “As I have traveled the state, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of support that I have received from Hoosiers. It’s amazing how great the people of our state are and how they respond to the principals of good, common sense plans to move our state forward.”

Charlie will continue to travel throughout the state to earn support for his candidacy and he asks those interested in helping or learn more about him, to visit his website at www.charlieforindiana.com. Updates on his campaign can also be found on Facebook, LinkedIN and Twitter.

  • Did you know that Charlie belonged to a fraternity at Wabash that was founded because one of their members didn't want to accept responsibility for a racial incident he committed while a member of the Tekes in 1991. In fact, he admitted point blank to the chapter's Faculty Advisor that he indeed called the black President of the Lambda Chi house the N-word in front of a bunch of high schoolers at a rush function. There's no way Charlie couldn't have known about that, yet he still chose to associate with a fraternity formed out of bigotry. Sure it was a long time ago, but Republicans have been big into "associations" when it comes to other people.

  • Charlie also voted in favor of Geist annexation. I'm just sayin.

  • Charlie White has also cheated on his wife time and time again. The Town of Fishers employess try to keep this so hush hush, because one they are either afraid to lose their job or 2 they are friends of him.. Just ask someone in the fire deparment… I am pretty sure one of the females that works their, and recieved unjust promotions knows Charlie fairly well!! To think this guy is the front runner in this election. Politics and Politicians are jokes.
