🏘️ Spotlight: Avilla — A Small Town with a Big Role

Avilla may be one of Noble County’s smaller towns — but its citizens deserve nothing less than full transparency and accountable leadership.

At We The People – Noble County PAC, we believe every town, no matter its size, should be run with integrity, openness, and respect for the people it serves. Avilla is no exception. From town council decisions to clerk-treasurer responsibilities, local leadership in Avilla must be transparent, fair, and truly representative of the community.

🔍 Why We're Watching Avilla

In small towns, power can sometimes concentrate quietly — making oversight more difficult and political favoritism easier to conceal. That’s why we’re committed to:

• Ensuring Avilla residents have access to information about how decisions are made

• Monitoring town council meetings and elections

• Identifying patterns of favoritism or unchecked authority

• Empowering residents to speak out and get involved

We believe Avilla can model what ethical, citizen-first local government should look like — but only if we pay attention.

📊 Recent Elections & Concerns

In the most recent municipal election:

• The town clerk-treasurer race was uncontested

• There were only three candidates for two town council positions

• Voter turnout remained low, as in many towns across Noble County

Uncontested races may seem harmless — but they often reflect a lack of community awareness, engagement, or confidence in the system.

We're here to change that.

🎯 Our Goals in Avilla

• Encourage open and competitive elections for all local offices

• Promote civic education about how town government works

• Support residents who want to run for office or attend town meetings

• Create a culture of transparency, accountability, and community involvement

We’re not here to attack — we’re here to build a better way forward, together.
