Mike Clendenen
Challenger Mike Clendenen is running for Allen County Council 1st District in New Haven, Indiana. The election was held on May 5, 2026.
I am running for Allen County Council – 1st District because our community deserves thoughtful, responsible leadership that puts taxpayers first and plans for the future.
The County Council plays a critical role in managing budgets, setting priorities, and ensuring that public dollars are spent wisely. I believe in fiscal responsibility, transparency, and making decisions based on facts—not politics. Every dollar collected from residents of Allen County should be used efficiently and with clear accountability.
My priorities include supporting essential public services, maintaining strong infrastructure, encouraging responsible economic development, and ensuring county government remains accessible and responsive to the people it serves. I will work collaboratively with fellow council members, county officials, and residents to find practical solutions that benefit our entire community.
I am committed to listening, asking tough questions, and making decisions that reflect the best interests of the 1st District and all of Allen County. Together, we can ensure stable finances, smart growth, and a county government that works for everyone.
