Wiles Announces Re-Election Bid
Noblesville Councilwoman Megan Wiles has announced her candidacy for re-election to the Noblesville Common Council, Sixth District. Wiles is seeking her third term on the Council.
As a longtime resident of Noblesville, she has worked to see the history of Noblesville and authentic downtown preserved, while also recognizing the need to embrace growth.
“This is such an exciting time for the City of Noblesville. I am honored to serve on the Noblesville Common Council working with other dedicated Council members and the Administration to lead Noblesville into the future,” she said.
She currently serves as Council President and was appointed by Mayor Chris Jensen as co-chair for Noblesville’s Bicentennial Committee, along with Bret Richardson. During her second term, Wiles served as Council Vice President, member of the Finance, Economic Development, Downtown District, and Nominating Committees, as well as a liaison to the Noblesville Arts Council and Parks Board.
“I have loved growing up in Noblesville and feel blessed that my husband and I have been able to raise our family here. As Noblesville continues to grow, we must be ready to invest in our infrastructure and ensure we are providing the appropriate public safety for all residents,” Wiles said.”
She went on to talk about her time on the board, saying “I’m proud of the work of this current Council; we have dedicated resources to implement significant plans for the future of our community. I believe it’s important that we have experienced Council members working with Mayor Jensen to make sure the progress we have made in the last few years continues in a fiscally responsible manner.”
Wiles finished by saying, “This is an exciting time to help lead our city forward and I am dedicated to serving the residents of the Sixth District and all of Noblesville.”
In her professional career, she serves as the Executive Director of Riverview Health Foundation, where she works to build resources to support programs and projects that benefit patients, staff and their families at Riverview Health.
