From The Office of the Mayor Jerome A. Prince
Gary is more than a place to live; it’s where we call home. A place where neighbors are our family, legends were born and a legacy was established.
As a Gary native, I am committed to making the necessary sacrifices and investments to restore a city that we can be proud of.
It is time that we reimagine and resurrect Gary as a place to nurture our families, where we can live, work and play.
We can reimagine becoming Northwest Indiana’s premier place to attract new businesses, better schools, advanced hospitals and a safer place for our children and seniors.
After graduating from Lew Wallace High School, I enlisted in the U.S. Marines. While serving our country, I acquired skills and life lessons that I’m confident will allow me to serve our community.
We all see what Gary is today. Let’s work together to reimagine our city. I am ready to lead through partnership, so together we can make Gary a better place.
