"It's time for New Albany to reclaim its place in Southern Indiana."

I have been a proud member of this community for 31 years. I chose to move to New Albany from Louisville because of its fine reputation and quality schools. I raised my daughter Charlotte in New Albany and over the years was pleased with the quality of education she received. I still think our schools have much to offer our youth and am committed to ensuring that New Albany’s children continue to have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

I own and operate Harshfield & Associate, Inc. offering professional bookkeeping and tax services to individuals and businesses of all kinds. I am currently in my 22nd year of this endeavor and enjoy working with many individuals and diverse business entities. I have worked in the accounting industry for a total of 39 years.

I am aware of the many issues that the city and its residents face. Therefore, I have decided to take a stand and do my part to help the city regain its place on the map. This stand begins with my run for City Councilman of the 3rd District

Although I have never run for public office, I am active in my community and am the current treasurer of the East Spring Street Neighborhood Association, Inc. and a member of Develop New Albany, a non-profit organization committed to the economic revitalization and historic preservation of Downtown New Albany.

Vote Charlie Harshfield, Democrat, for your third district councilman, and bring pride back to New Albany.
