I’m Susan McKendry—a wife, mother, retired safety professional, and proud Hoosier with a lifelong commitment to service, accountability, and community. My husband and I chose Crown Point as the place to raise our family because of its strong schools, welcoming neighborhoods, and small-town character. After more than 26 years helping organizations solve problems, manage risk, and protect people, I’m running for Mayor because I believe Crown Point deserves transparent leadership, responsible growth, and a city government that always puts residents, business owners and it's employees first. I invite you to learn more about my story, my values, and my vision for the future of our city.

Why I'm Running
I am running for Mayor because I believe Crown Point is at a crossroads and needs leadership focused on protecting the city’s future, not just its image.Â
Â
I believe transparent government, responsible growth, ethical leadership, and a renewed commitment to the residents who make this city special.  Crown Point deserves leaders who listen when concerns are raised.Â
Â
As Crown Point continues to grow, I am committed to preserving the city’s small-town character, strengthening community trust, and ensuring growth never comes at the expense of the values that make Crown Point special. Â
​
Public office is not about politics—it is about service. I believe government should answer to the people, operate with transparency, and always put residents first.
​
As Mayor, I will work every day to protect the community I love and ensure Crown Point remains a place where families can thrive for generations to come.
