In response to Councilmember Myles’ arrest, Councilmember and candidate for Mayor Mark Pierzchala issued the following statement:

While we are still learning about the events that led to the arrest of Councilmember David Myles, I want to publicly state that I condemn domestic violence and all other forms of abuse. The harms of domestic violence go beyond the physical. No one should live in fear of those they love.

As a mayoral candidate, I am running independently, and not in conjunction with CM Myles or others at this time. I look forward to making sure that our City has the leadership it needs in the next term.

Mark Pierzchala
