1983 Evansville, Indiana mayoral election
The1983 Evansville, Indiana mayoral election was held on November 8, 1983, and saw the reelection ofDemocratic incumbent Michael Vandeveer .
Primary elections were held on May 3.[ 23]
Incumbent mayorMichael Vandeveer faced token opposition from two challengers. While neither opponent were seen as posing a strong challenge to Vandeveer, more serious of the two candidates running against Vandeveer in the primary was Berta Hammerseen, a former university professor and former member of the Evansville Housing Authority. Hammerstein criticized Vandeveer for the financial troubles of the city, and for shortcomings in regards to economic development in the city. Mark R. Chellgren of theAssociated Press [ 23]
Four-term city councilman and high school teacher David Koehler won the Republican nomination.[ 23] [ 24] Vanderburgh County sheriff James DeGroote.[ 23]
Koehler had the backing of the local Republican Party organization, which provided his campaign with organizational and financial support.[ 23] [ 23]
Both candidates argued that economic development should be the first priority of Evansville's mayor. The campaign between them was not focused on issues, but rather on personality. Also effecting the race was debate over the influence of the county Republican chairman, Bob Whitehouse.[ 23]
Koehler worked to soften his public image. Despite being seen as a good manager, Mark R. Chellgren of theAssociated Press wrote that he was seen as having, "little regard for the people side of government".[ 23]
DeGroote ran, in large part, on both his record as sheriff, and on presenting himself with a friendly image.[ 23]
Early into the campaign, the Republican Party had hopes that its nominee might be able to unseat Vendeveer. However, Koehler's candidacy failed to create momentum.[ 25]
Koehler alleged that Vandeveer was guilty of "fiscal mismanagement", often pointing to a financial crisis that the city government had faced in 1981. Koehler also accused Vandeveer of subjecting residents to too many new fees, while also alleging that Vandeveer did not make the best use of the revenues generated by these fees. Koehler also attacked Vandeveer for his shortcomings in attracting economic development.[ 25]
Vandeveer insisted that the city's economic issues were largely attributable to the ongoingearly 1980s recession , and predicted that the city would see improved economic fortunes by the end of the decade.[ 25]
Both nominees were in agreement that the state of Indiana should pass legislation to establish a new local option income tax, as well as provide additional new methods for city's such as Evansville to generate more revenue.[ 25]
