Mayor of Mishawaka

From the Mayor

“I am very honored to be your Mayor! Together we continue to build a community that future generations can be proud of; one that is a very desirable place in which to live, work, raise a family and retire; but also, to visit, shop, seek healthcare, and do business. We are a safe community, a vibrant community and place many of our citizens have sought out to be their hometown for a lifetime.”  

Proud Accomplishments

The City of Mishawaka has seen remarkable growth and major improvements throughout our Princess City including major upgrades in our outstanding parks and amenities all through Mishawaka. Small-town values partnered with our flourishing city bring big opportunities. Over the last several years, population growth and business expansions have created record-breaking new construction throughout the City of Mishawaka. Our Princess City continues to live up to our reputation as the “Best Hometown in America.”

In today’s world, people can choose to live anywhere they want. It used to be that most cities were focused on jobs, jobs, jobs. Now it is about attracting people! Mishawaka has and will focus on doing just that!
