Terre Haute's population has declined in back to back censuses. The median income is among the lowest in the state. Childhood poverty in the Haute is DOUBLE the state average. While Mayor Bennett has made some strides, the numbers indicate that CHANGE is needed.

Hoosiers go down in OT. Bowl game? We don't do those at IU. Tough day.

I got a little emotional on the show tonight. I love Terre Haute. I think about what we can do to improve the city and our Hoosier state almost nonstop. Tune in tomorrow and give it a listen. Terredise is on the rise, and I'm blessed to be our next Mayor.

2/ This is why I get frustrated with conversations around DEI. DEI is not meant to make white individuals feel bad for the color of their skin. It is intended to allow a level playing field and an understanding that underrepresented groups face adversities unseen by others.

This fall the choice is clear. Move towards the future or stay stagnant playing the same sheet of music but expecting new results. Together, we can turn Terre Haute around. Vote Brandon Sakbun for Mayor. Early voting begins Oct 11th & election day is November 7th. #SakbunForMayor

I love the branding "Terredise" I spell it with an "e." Some spell it with an "a." Regardless, I have two tickets to Terredise on me at all times. This city is on the rise. Come check us out.

A ton I dislike in this article. But i love that former Mayor Duke Bennett got quoted. Duke is a lifelong ISU fan and a great guy. While we disagree at times, I'm thankful for his help these first few months. 🤝🏾

With Indiana State on the doorstep of the NIT title, coach Josh Schertz is less than 48 hours from deciding which neighborhood he'll call home: Terre Haute or Saint Louis. I got him alone last night and asked him. He made no promises, and told no lies.

Comparing building permit #s from 2023 to 2024: April saw a large increase in total permits, permit value, & new builds. $5.6M to $16.79M in total permit value. New build permit value went from 0 to $9.7M. The comeback story of Terre Haute is being written in real time.

Yeahhhh I'm no "city boy." Headed back home to Terredise to prepare for incoming weather, plan for development, fix sidewalks, and root on the Sycamores.

Tomorrow morning, I'll make the trip to the statehouse in Indianapolis. There are several bills that have an impact on the Terre Haute community, ranging from casino revenue to recruiting law enforcement personnel. I am looking forward to discussing Terredise in the 317.

I am proud of my diverse background- son of Cambodian and Jamaican parents and a veteran. Serving our country was a dream come true. Now, my focus is serving the community and bringing Terre Haute to new heights.

November's election ballot for local races will reflect a little more diversity than Terre Haute voters are accustomed to.

I'm in tears. Unfortunately at 9:00am, my smoker broke. The water tray spilled and must've ruined the heating unit. The smoker is unable to heat itself past 100 degrees. This hurts more than you can imagine. I'll be taking no questions at this time.

It's officially March....which means smoking season has started. Looking at a 3LB Prime Rib Garlic Pepper smoke tomorrow. Will try it with trailer hardwood pellets at 225 degrees. Spent last season on the campaign trail, so this will be my first smoke in a long time.
