After seven years as the Mesquite District’s councilmember, Bridget Binsbacher is ready to take the next step in her political career.
If she becomes the next Peoria mayor, Binsbacher said she can build upon the relationships she made as councilmember to help the city grow.
“I love this city,” Binsbacher said. “I’ve been living and working in this city for decades. I’ve been serving in this city for many, many years and raised four kids here. After seven wonderful years on the council, I want to serve at the next level to continue the great work that we’re doing and beyond.”
Binsbacher said she believes the experience she gained as a councilmember will serve her well as mayor. She said the Mesquite District was chock full of substantial projects, and the number of residents she represented from Peoria’s largest district is in her favor.
