Ellen Hodorek Among Troy City Council Candidates

The following information was submitted in a press release.

The Friends of Ellen Hodorek Committee formally announces her candidacy for Troy City Council in the upcoming November election. The Friends look forward to seeing her bring a fresh, non-partisan perspective to the council table.

"A great team of people encouraged me to run, and I was truly humbled when I filed the petitions," Hodorek said. "Now I look forward to sharing with Troy voters what I will stand for if elected: a community of people working together to safeguard Troy, including its low millage rate and outstanding safest city rating."

With a wave of positive energy behind Hodorek's candidacy, it took less than 36 hours for volunteers to obtain over 150 petition signatures; only 60 are required to file for candidacy.

The position is non-partisan, and Hodorek brings a passion for the city. As a 24-year resident, she has accumulated a wealth of experience through private and public work, including countless hours in various volunteer roles.

"Voters can expect me to bring to the council table an independent perspective in a manner that continues the creative, fiscally responsible, and pragmatic governance that has restored calm and a positive reputation to Troy," Hodorek said. "Troy is a benchmark city on so many levels, and I will work to keep it that way."
