James Brainard is stepping down after leading Carmel, Ind., for 28 years. He’s best known nationally for building roundabouts and promoting local climate efforts, but his legacy rests with how he rebuilt the Indianapolis suburb.
Republican Sue Finkam and Democrat Miles Nelson are running to replace Brainard, a Republican who has served since 1996. Write-in candidate Darin Johnson is also running, but his name will not appear on election ballots.
The rethinking of a conventional office park, Carmel Gateway is the latest big idea to be proposed in Carmel, Indiana, the city of roundabouts.
Nelson, a 19-year Carmel resident, is the first Democrat to enter the race to succeed seven-term Republican Mayor Jim Brainard.
