Selina Stoller has announced that she is running for Fishers City Council, Northwest District.
“I want to serve the community and to be engaged in the City of Fishers’ growth,” Stoller said. “I strive to facilitate public safety in Fishers. I am passionate about Fishers’ future, and as a result, I am announcing my candidacy to run for election to Fishers City Council.”
Stoller said she believes the City of Fishers faces many challenges such as public safety, aging infrastructure and unplanned growth and trusts that solving these issues will contribute to the strength of Fishers.
“I believe in teamwork to develop a city where we can all thrive,” she said.
Stoller has lived in Fishers with her husband, daughter and son for over 13 years. Her family regularly participates in Special Olympics of Hamilton County. Her husband is a coach for multiple sports, and the family volunteers and assists SOHC.
Stoller said her main concern as a mother is public safety to ensure that Fishers is a safe community to raise a family. “Burglaries, robberies, and break-ins have increased and are a big concern to Fishers families,” she said.
Though Stoller named public safety a top priority, she said she believes the issue of public safety goes beyond the latest crime report.
“Safety is also on the roads. Development is moving forward in Fishers just as it should. If the development is not properly and strategically planned, traffic congestion and unsafe intersections can be easily created,” she said.
Stoller added that many people flock to Fishers because of the school system, however, “the problem lies in that the schools do not receive money for new students until after they have completed one year of school in the community. With new developments being put in Fishers, the schools are overcrowded. Strategic planning is needed to properly implement the development to allow the schools to expand at a reasonable pace.”
Stoller provides consultant services regarding distressed assets, and has planned and managed for private equity funds, specializing in asset allocation, incorporating non-traditional investments in a portfolio, targeting a minimal acceptable return.
