FRESH LEADERSHIP FOR
TODAY'S CHALLENGES

Benjamin Rogers for Mayor of Goshen

“Although the 2023 election results were not what we hoped for, I am grateful to the volunteers and supporters who worked hard to get our message out to voters. In the time allotted, I had the opportunity to talk with a wide facet of our community and bring issues like blight, business friendliness, infrastructure, and customer service to the forefront of the political conversation. Thank you all for the opportunity to represent!”

My name is Benjamin Rogers, and I am running for Mayor of my hometown. I’ve grown up in Goshen. All of my foundations are based here in our community. I grew up in a family committed to service and values. Whether it was church, scouting, or the family unit itself, I was raised in an environment where service to others as a way of life is expected.

As your next mayor, I would bring a balance of youth and life experience lacking in government today. I offer a positive message of growth, with a look to our future. I offer my earnest conviction, willingness to serve, and respect for this office. I ask for your support and vote as we work together to grow our city!

Benjamin Rogers for Mayor of Goshen, Indiana - Vote November 2023
  • As mayor, I will work to restore responsible leadership to our city hall. I will listen to our community, and work to build coalitions to grow our city. We must build and maintain relationships with other municipalities, the county, and our state and federal representatives.

 

  • I will keep standards high to maintain public trust in our government. I will make sure customer service is made a high priority as we stay focused on creating a government that serves you with respect and kindness. I will make sure our city staff are heard, respected, and have the tools needed to do their job.

 

  • We must encourage development and restore housing affordability for all residents no matter their socioeconomic standing. Increasing the supply of housing allows for growth, affordability, and the reduction of property taxes through reduced tax assessments. Goshen must regain a reputation for business friendliness in order to encourage the development of housing and good-paying jobs. Communication in regard to new projects is key and care will be taken to ensure all stakeholders are heard and their concerns taken into account. 

 

  • I will also focus on the little things. The boring things. The infrastructure and personnel issues that directly affect the residents. Our government must serve all of our neighborhoods, equally and fairly, with no regard for political favoritism.

A few years back I had the opportunity to meet Ben Rogers at a young Republicans gathering. He so impressed me that I commented to him that I hoped he would run for mayor of Goshen someday. That someday is now.

Ben impressed me with his love and knowledge of public service. Ben understands that as an elected official and public servant you are responsible for being a good steward of the public’s money.

Another key thing that impressed me about Ben Rogers is his commitment to keeping government as small as possible while delivering quality service to the citizens of our community. Police, fire, water and wastewater treatment, parks and recreation are priorities. While regulations can serve the community well, you must always ensure you do not overregulate the life of our citizens and businesses.

Ben also believes in an opendoor policy to hear suggestions and concerns of citizens. The people and businesses receiving services must be heard in order to ensure that government is delivering services that the public needs and in a way they deserve. Quality customer/citizen service is a must.

Ben is a confident servant leader. I believe he has the strength and energy to serve Goshen well as its next mayor. I hope you will join me in voting for Benjamin Rogers for Mayor of Goshen.

Former Head of the Goshen City Chamber of Commerce

I was born in Goshen and grew up in Goshen. I am a lifelong resident of the Goshen area, and I’ve run my land surveying business in Goshen since 1990.

As a community member, as an elected county official, and now your State Senator, I understand the issues and daily pressures faced by our local elected leaders. I believe that Republican Nominee Benjamin Rogers is the candidate we need to elect to the office of Mayor.
 
Benjamin will bring a servant leadership approach to City Hall and will work to serve all of the city’s residents fairly and equally – regardless of political stripe. He is focused on tackling the city’s housing issue and will work to make Goshen a place where businesses and development can thrive. He will bring responsible values to this vital office.
 

I am confident in my endorsement of Benjamin’s candidacy for Mayor of Goshen, and I encourage all Goshen residents to join in voting for him in this 2023 Election.

Your vote matters, make it count!

I would like to tell the citizens of Goshen reasons why Benjamin Rogers should be our next Mayor. In observing this young man one of his many assets is his basic honesty in dealing with people and situations. He has the ability to evaluate facts and act with confidence. Benjamin is extremely responsible.

I taught in Goshen Schools and have been the Elkhart Township Trustee for over 20 years and Benjamin understands the relationship between the city and the township. The majority of the city is located in Elkhart Township so his knowledge of how the city and township governments relates will be invaluable. He will bring fresh ideas on how to create better public safety, improve traffic flow problems and better expand the housing situation for working middle-class individuals.

Benjamin is not running for Mayor to get political power, but to see how much he can help people change their lives for the better. What an attitude to have! With his excellent rapport with people, and his ability to solve problems and create solutions, Benjamin is not only the best candidate but the most qualified to be the next Mayor of Goshen. I would appreciate it if you would join me in electing Benjamin Rogers, Mayor of Goshen.
