Sharon Tucker sworn in as new mayor of the City of Fort Wayne<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 23, 2024) Sharon Tucker today was sworn in as the new mayor of the City of Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n

Tucker was sworn in by Karl Bandemer who is returning to the position of deputy mayor.<\/p>\n

Tucker is the first Black female mayor in Fort Wayne\u2019s history. Most recently, she served as executive director of Vincent House, Inc., in addition to being the City Councilwoman for Fort Wayne\u2019s 6th District, a position she held from 2020-2024 as the first Black female to hold that position. Tucker was also elected as 1st District Councilwoman on Allen County Council in 2014 and was re-elected to a second term in 2018 as the first Black female to hold that position as well.<\/p>\n

Tucker\u2019s community engagement is extensive. She\u2019s a proud member of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, AVOW (Advancing Voices of Women) and the NAACP. Tucker has also volunteered on the board of directors for the Allen County Public Library, Alliance Health Clinic, and SEED.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Tucker founded and launched Project Activate SouthEast Fort Wayne (P.A.S.E.). P.A.S.E. is an entrepreneurial training and pitch competition designed to help entrepreneurs start their businesses and spur economic development in southeast Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Tucker formed the \u2018Women in Politics Forum,\u2019 an annual forum focusing on empowering, engaging, and educating women on the importance of being involved in the political process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored and humbled to be mayor of the City of Fort Wayne. It\u2019s a responsibility that I don\u2019t take lightly. I\u2019m committed to doing all I can to be the best mayor possible to meet the needs of our wonderful community,\u201d said Mayor Tucker. \u201cI look forward to meeting with City employees over the coming days and weeks to get updated on the projects and initiatives that are being worked on to help move Fort Wayne forward. I\u2019m excited to be in the position that I\u2019m in to make a positive and lasting difference for our residents, neighborhoods, and businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

A graduate of Indiana Tech, Tucker holds two Bachelors of Science degrees in Management and Human Resources.<\/p>\n

Bandemer, who had served as acting mayor since the passing of the late Mayor Tom Henry, was sworn in today to serve as deputy mayor, again. Bandemer held the position of deputy mayor from October 2013-March 2024 before becoming acting mayor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Garry Mohr, who had been sworn as the Deputy Mayor to replace Karl Bandemer while he served as Acting Mayor, was sworn into his former position as the City Controller.<\/p>\n
