Council District 1
The Westside – Fairpark, Jordan Meadows, Rose Park, Westpointe
Welcome
Welcome District 1 residents!
At their November 9 meeting, City Council Members selected Victoria Petro-Eschler to fill the District One seat vacated by James Rogers in October 2021. Petro-Eschler was sworn into office immediately following the established interview and selection process for filling a vacancy. She will serve the remainder of Rogers’ term ending January 3, 2022.
Petro-Eschler was one of the four District One residents who applied to fill the vacant seat. During the Council work session, candidates received five minutes to provide a verbal presentation on topics of their choice. The Council selected Petro-Eschler after hearing from each candidate.
The vacancy application and selection period overlapped with the District One municipal elections on November 2, 2021. Petro-Eschler won the District One race and will be sworn into office for a four-year term on Monday, January 3, 2022.
Petro-Eschler is the executive director of the Salty Cricket, a nonprofit dedicated to building community through music-based initiatives. She also served on the City’s Historic Landmark Commission.
