To my fellow neighbors, my name is Ed Zelazny and I want to first thank you for showing me the support you have over the last four years. It’s been an absolute pleasure to serve the residents of Shelby, which is why I’m excited to announce my candidacy to run for re-election to the Town Council.

I remember why I decided to run and it still holds true today. Our community deserves real

representation, which reflects our hard work ethic and blue collar roots. We want to elect people who serve the community not themselves. We want people in charge who will make the tough decisions because it’s the right thing to do, not because of self-serving political bosses.

During my first term, I followed that belief and made it a pillar of my service. I am proud to say that at every point, I fought to reduce ridiculous spending and unbalanced

budgets. I was determined to shine a light on the “wild, wild west” spending that raise your taxes and kill our community.

This is why: I never voted for a budget that increased our taxes. I never voted for raising the legal costs. I never voted for back door deals by politicians.

Our work is not over and our community is not safe from establishment politicians. In the coming weeks, we begin the political process once again. Therefore, myself and a team of volunteers will go out and circulate petitions to continue the fight against Town Hall. I kindly appreciate your help in this cause. It starts with just a signature. If you see a petition with my name on it, know that’s the first step to making our community great again!

Thank you for the support, Shelby!

Ed Zelazny

Shelby Town Councilman
