Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness appeared headed to a second full term as mayor, trouncing his only competitor in the Republican primary Tuesday.

With all polling sites reporting, Fadness had 67.3 % of the vote, easily topping Logan Day, who received 32.7%, according to preliminary results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections.

Fadness is likely to win in the general election in the heavily Republican city because neither the Democratic Party nor third parties have run candidates, though they still have time to do so.

Fadness pledged to keep the city on its course of business and residential growth that has earned it a national reputation as a high-tech hub with an emerging, vibrant downtown and to make improvements across the city.

"I look forward to continue working with residents, neighborhood leaders, business leaders, nonprofits and community partners to strengthen neighborhoods in all corners of our city,” Fadness told his supporters, who had gathered at the Balmoral House.

As the city's first mayor and a previous stint as town manager, Fadness oversaw the addition of hundreds of upscale apartments downtown and the recruitment of digital and internet-driven firms to the city's technology district. He also wooed internationally and nationally known businesses to Fishers, such as Ikea, Topgolf and Portillo's.

Several other projects are in the works or being planned, including a public beach and park at Geist Reservoir and the rebuilding of Ind. 37 to an interstate-style roadway with roundabout overpasses. Also underway are construction of a $157 million commercial, retail and residential development downtown on 116th Street; completion of The Yard at Fishers District, a $110 million project with a culinary center, shops, an apartment building and a hotel; and construction of a 4.5 mile trail along the Nickel Plate railroad patch.

Day was one of the leaders in opposition to the greenway plan and said if he won he would try to save the tracks. It was the 27-year-old's first run for public office.

Fadness holds a Master’s degree in Public Affairs from Indiana University and is

an adjunct professor at the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

He and his wife, Aunna, have two sons, Lincoln and Hudson. On the weekends, you can often find them enjoying the Fishers Farmers Market and events at the Amp.
