Andrew Myatt is one of ten candidates running for the Elsmere City Council. The council has six seats.
Myatt was appointed to the council last year after the ouster of former Council Member Serena Owen, who is now running for the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent Schools Board of Education.
“I have really enjoyed my first term on council and look forward to serving the city in the future, as well,” Myatt said. “I want to stay on council to continue our work in bettering the city. It has also been a great joy in meeting all of the citizens.”
Myatt is a small business owner. He owns a store in Taylor Mill called Discover Aquatics Shop. He said his business experience would be useful on council.
“Owning a business and running the city are closely related,” Myatt said. “Budgets, staffing, outside vendors and other things of that nature need to be dealt with in similar fashion.”
Myatt said his two priorities were ensuring the financial health of the city and supporting the police department.
“We have things that need to get done around the city, such as a new Public Works building,” Myatt said. “But watching the budget and making sure the city stays fluid is a main priority.”
