Bob Miller announces his candidacy for Monona Mayor.


In announcing his candidacy, long time resident and businessman Bob Miller said, “Monona is a wonderful community I have been proud to call home for the past 21 years. This is an exciting time for our city with substantial new commercial development underway, a safer and revitalized Monona Drive and continued efforts to welcome new families to Monona. I am proud to have participated in many of these initiatives and by serving as Mayor, I will work hard to preserve and enhance those qualities that make us want to live, work and invest in Monona’s future.

It is important to capitalize now on these successes, but to also work to revitalize those areas of the community that require attention. We need to retain and improve our family-friendly qualities like our parks, lakefront and community services. As mayor, I would work in a positive way to foster open communication between the city and its residents, maintain the city’s fiscal strength and essential services like police and fire protection and help Monona move towards a more sustainable future.”
