Most people have gotten to know Leah McGrath over the last 4 years as the deputy mayor of the City of Fishers. During that time, we’ve seen Fishers grow, but also seen a local unknown step up and make a name for herself as a community outreach and government relations expert. Leah serves on the boards of Conner Prairie, the Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability, and the Fishers Youth Assistance Program. Probably one of her most visible feats was organizing and leading the Spark Fishers pre-4th of July celebration in downtown Fishers during the transition from the Fishers Freedom Festival to the City-Run event in 2018. You might say her political capital stock has risen steadily over the last 4 years, so it was no surprise yesterday when she announced that she will run for the Indiana House District 88 seat being vacated by long-time republican leader Brian Bosma. Somewhat shocked at the news, I had to call and get the skinny from Leah herself. This episode is sponsored by Leadstra, who can help you with your own podcast in 2020.
