A candidate for Indianola’s Ward 2, Ross told Warren’s Voice that his top priorities were public safety, finding a solution to the city’s library problem, and “restoring fiscal responsibility”. Fiscal responsibility is a theme Brad Ross has returned to many times. He said he would, “view the city council like that of a business”.
At the forum, Ross expressed his concern that the city’s spending practices would leave Indianola without appropriate reserves, famously noting that there was “$4 million that’s unaccounted for”.
Ross told Warren’s Voice, “A community needs a healthy reserve for unforeseen emergencies and funds earmarked for capital improvements,” and that the current reserve is depleted “to dangerously concerning levels.”
Before each meeting, Brad Ross bows his head and prays, “Dear Lord, give me strength and understanding. Amen.” Ross hopes to bring both strength and understanding to the Indianola City Council.
