EVANSVILLE, In. (WEHT) – Republican mayoral candidates Cheryl Musgrave and Natalie Rascher spent the final push before the primary going door to door and speaking with their future constituents – each offering distinct perspectives on what they have to offer the city.

“I’ve been talking to the voters for weeks now and walking door to door with some of the folks you see behind me – great set of supporters – I’ve been learning about their concerns, they tell me a wide range of things they’re concerned about. All of us are concerned about roads, we are all concerned about crime,” says Cheryl Musgrave, one the two running in the Republican primary.

“I’d say the number one things that comes up when I talk to residents is public safety. What can we do to ensure that we have a safe community. For not just our children to grow up and thrive in but our children’s children,” says Rascher.

Both candidates spent the final push before the primary going door to door and speaking with their future constituents – each offering distinct perspectives on what they have to offer the city.

“What sets me apart is my experience, my ability to get things done in a team environment. her experience is the story,”says Rascher. “It was so nice to get out there and meet neighbors and talk to individuals and find out what their concerns were. And at the end of the day I think that Evansville is really ready for that next generation of leadership to step forward.”

Musgrave has been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, among other labor organizations, while Rascher has received the endorsement of current longtime Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. One issue wreaking havoc on the Tri-State is the opioid crisis.
