"We have known John Carter and his family for many years.  We have been city residents for more than 40 years and raised our family here.  Our boys played many baseball and soccer games on Ford Field.  We love John's vision for Northville, investing in all our community spaces and infrastructure while preparing a bright future for our city.  John is very thoughtful and cares deeply about our town, maintaining its history and protecting its future.  We are excited to support John Carter for Northville City Council."
Dianne and Don McCulloch
"In the years I have known the Carter family they have shown a strong commitment to Northville.  Even as busy young parents, they volunteered  with City organizations, got involved, showed passion and thoroughness and approached challenges with humor, intelligence and integrity.  I have no doubt that Northville will be in good hands with John as one of its leaders."
Sue and Bob Taylor
"We have watched and attended City Council candidate nights, as a result we are excited to support John Carter for Council.  His many hours of thoughtful volunteerism on behalf of the City, and who he is as a person and family man are a core foundation.  His education and skills as a managing consultant bring fresh eyes, objective analysis, problem solving, and a results focus to the issues at hand.  His emphasis on transparency and community engagement is welcomed.  He is the right candidate at the right time as we face many major projects with long term impact, combined with the need for effective stewardship for the taxpayer and city services."
Paul and Maureen Travalini
A Note from the Mayor:
I have heard John Carter state as I do that “Northville should continue to grow while being true to who we are with thoughtful development." From what I have seen and observed John supports a thriving downtown, growth of green spaces, and a bolstering of our infrastructures.
​
The future in front of us presents citizens with an exciting trajectory for the town we love. I have experienced John Carter’s passion in the committees that he has invested his time and talents in.  He has taken a leadership role in presenting to Council on Ford Field on it's transformation into a Central Park themed area with improved fields, a new welcoming entrance, updated playscape, restroom facilities, a pavilion, gardens and enhanced lighting.   Because of John’s work here he has been invited to join the Sustainability Team & the River Walk Task Force for the benefit of environmental, economic and social growth in the community. John has proven to me time and time again his intellect, passion and leadership.
 
We must all know where we have been, understand the challenges of today to project the trajectory for our future in this Hamlet in the Hills or Switzerland of Wayne County we call Northville.
 
John Carter has committed his days going forward to the betterment of this community we love.  Get to know John yourself through upcoming gatherings posted.
 
Keep that Northville Faith!
