In his own words

Why I'm running

Chris Lewis

Lifelong Monroe neighbor, volunteer, and civic leader — candidate for Monroe City Marshal, Wards 3 & 10.

This decision didn't come from ambition or a desire for a title. It came from my love for this community and from listening to so many people who have encouraged me and challenged me to serve in a greater capacity.

I am running because I believe the Monroe City Marshal office needs new energy, fresh ideas, and a leader who shows up every single day for this community — not just when it's election time and funerals.

For years, I have dedicated myself to helping people, supporting families, and investing in our community. I have listened to the concerns of residents who want a Marshal's Office that is professional, active, engaged, and visible throughout our entire community.

This campaign is not about politics — it's about people. It's about building a safer, stronger Monroe and leaving a legacy our children can be proud of.

But let me be clear — I'm not claiming to have all the answers. I do promise this: I will lead with integrity, I will listen, I will work hard, and I will always put the people of Monroe first, regardless of their color, age, or gender.

My vision

More than serving papers

The office of City Marshal should be more than serving court papers and enforcing court orders. I envision an office that builds relationships, supports public safety, maintains professionalism, and earns the trust of the people we serve every day.

The job itself

What the City Marshal does

  • Serving court papers and carrying out the orders of the Monroe City Court.
  • Leading an office: managing personnel, overseeing daily operations, and handling budgets and resources.
  • Supporting public safety alongside local law enforcement, and being present in the community every day.

That takes leadership, organization, accountability, and good judgment — something I've done for nearly 20 years.
