KAUKAUNA — Marty DeCoster says he would continue growing events and local businesses if elected mayor.
“Having an energetic city and strong business base will help grow the community, and in turn, strengthen the rest of the city’s needs,” DeCoster wrote Thursday on his Marty for Mayor Facebook page.
DeCoster is challenging four-term mayor Gene Rosin in the April 5, 2016 general election.
