Mayor Tom Henry and his hopes for Fort Wayne’s future

In this episode of the Selling Fort Wayne podcast, hosts Tyler Morningstar and Kerri Morningstar speak with Mayor Tom Henry about his family’s deep roots in Fort Wayne and his hopes for the city’s future. He shares what a day in the life of a Mayor can look like, his political journey, and how he feels politicians can adjust to criticism today.

 

"The citizens of Fort Wayne are beginning to realize what we have in Fort Wayne. They are starting to market our city and not hide our city." - Mayor Tom Henry  [20:34]

 

"Not everybody thinks the way I do, even though I think I’m right. Not everyone sees things the way I do. You have to take it with a grain of salt. You have to realize the majority of the time it has nothing to do with you personally." - Mayor Tom Henry [33:52]
