INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — On Sunday’s episode of “All INdiana Politics,” News 8 government reporter Garrett Bergquist sits down with the two Southport mayoral candidates, incumbent Republican Jim Cooney and Heather Newport, an independent candidate.

Cooney is seeking his second term as Southport mayor. He says that Southport needs to continue economic development, the need for the city to expand parks and rec events, redevelopment commission being the best tool, and more. Newport, a member of the city’s redevelopment commission, says Southport leaders need to take a community-first mindset, including improving diversity on the city’s boards and commissions, Southport’s economy is important to supporting other services, such as Southport’s police force, and much more.
