Dave Hofmann, former Chief of Police and Deputy Mayor for Mayor Steve Collier, officially filed his candidacy with Marion County Election Board. Hofmann is a lifelong public servant having served as Deputy Mayor and Chief of Staff for Mayor Collier since early 2022, as Lawrence’s Chief of Police for six years, and as an IMPD officer for 20 years, retiring at the rank of District Commander. He has a proven career of public service and servant leadership in the Lawrence community.
“I look forward to earning your vote to be your next Mayor,” Hofmann said. “Lawrence is a safe, clean, welcoming place with award-winning schools, excellent parks and roads, and great neighborhoods. There is much work to be done to capitalize on the opportunity that lies ahead of our city.” Hofmann will prioritize public safety, fiscal transparency, investments in streets and utilities, economic growth, and keeping Lawrence open and welcoming to people of all backgrounds and abilities.
When his campaign finance report is filed later this month, his campaign will report that he has already raised close to $90,000 in the first three months since announcing his candidacy.
