As most of you probably know, Mr. Bill Kramer was one of the candidates for the Evansville City Council this year who took the pledge to save Roberts Stadium. Unfortunately, he came up a few votes short as all but one spot on the council went to the Democratic Party.
But I am pleased to announce, Bill isn't giving up. These past few weeks, he has committed to getting back up off the mat and continuing to fight for his vision. As I've said before with Patrick McBride, Lon Walters, and many others, the hardest part to achieving success is picking yourself up after you have failed first.
Although some candidates have been jaded by their first, second, and third losses, Bill refuses to let his lost bid for the council get to him. And let's not forget, Colonel Sanders failed 1,009 times before finally experiencing success. Just because you aren't successful the first time doesn't mean you won't be the next time.
Now, I am very confident that Bill has picked a good spot to start his comeback. With Lloyd Winnecke moving into the mayor's office, his spot has been filled by Joe Kiefer. As a result, Joe's spot on the Vanderburgh County Council is now open for the Republican Party to fill. Thankfully, Bill has decided to run for the position.
The Vanderburgh County Council, especially with Russ Lloyd Jr. departing as well, is in dire need of reform. Last year, when David Dunn presented his ball fields plan, I was there to rebuttal it and introduce our counter proposal which is head and shoulders better than the current plan. Unfortunately, after I presented you could hear a pin drop. It amazed me just how lifeless that council was. I'm glad they refused to accept Dunn's plan because it was pretty obvious they had no idea of what they were getting involved in.
This is where putting Bill Kramer on the council will pay HUGE dividends for our us. Yesterday, on my other blog Evansville Moving Forward, I talked about the vision I have for Evansville as well as the need to elect candidates who seek office to push their vision not their career...

Rest assure, Bill Kramer shares the same ideas and vision that I have for Evansville. When you talk to Bill, you hear ideas, solutions, goals, and a vision. I am very excited to see Bill running as a vision candidate and not as an opportunist candidate. We can ill afford to maintain the status quo on either of our councils or the mayors office.
To get Bill on the Vanderburgh County Council, we need to get all of the Vanderburgh County GOP Precinct Committee Members to vote for him. Therefore, I am asking for you to support Bill in one of the following ways...
1. If you are a GOP PC please cast your ballot for Bill on January 3rd.
2. If you know a GOP PC, please lobby them to cast their ballot for Bill.
3. If you aren't involved with the Vanderburgh County GOP, please email them and let them know that you want to see Bill on the council.
If we are going to be successful in our bid to save Roberts Stadium, construct our ball fields next to Bosse Field at Kleymeyer Park, and turn the rest of our city around, we have to get people like Bill Kramer involved in our government.
LET'S SAVE ROBERTS STADIUM, LET'S SUPPORT BILL KRAMER FOR THE VANDERBURGH COUNTY COUNCIL.
