Former Hutchinson Police Sergeant Darrin Truan filed for election for the at-large position on the Hutchinson City Council.
Truin is the first to enter the race and has spent 33 years in law enforcement, including 24 years with the City of Hutchinson.
Truan said his more than two decades of Police Work have put him in close touch with city problems and issues, part of what inspired him to run for office.
“Common Sense Solutions and keeping a close eye on spending”. Truan said “Conservative, Reasonable taxes, coupled with a progressive response to citizen concerns, is my government goal”.
Truan also owns and manages local rental properties along with being a long-time tradesman, in rentals, repairs, building costs and the need for more affordable housing.
The at-large council seat is a two-year term with voters from throughout the city eligible to cast ballots in the August Primary and November general election. Two of the four other Council Districts are up for election this year.
Current at-large councilmember and Mayor of Hutchinson, Stacy Goss, has filed for a four-year term representing the northwest district of Hutchinson. Current Northwest Councilman Jon Richardson has announced he does not intend to run again. Also on the ballot will be the Southwest district councilman, Greg Fast, who will be seeking his second four-year term.
Truan’s wife, Tiffany, works at a local bank and they have two children who also live in Hutchinson. Truan says he plans to attend as many council meetings as possible between now and the election to become better informed on issues.
Persons are welcome to call his cellphone at 620-728-9444 with their ideas and concerns.
