Pete Zaleski For State Representative
Roots in Small Business in Indiana Pete didn’t just grow up in Richmond; he grew up in the world of Independent Pharmacy, small business in Indiana. This upbringing provided him with a front-row seat to the challenges local entrepreneurs face—from navigating economic shifts to managing the rising costs of operation. Upon returning to Richmond after college, Pete took the reins of the Phillips Drugs, the family business. Managing day-to-day operations gave him a practical, "boots-on-the-ground" perspective that many career politicians lack: • Budget Management: Balancing payroll and overhead. • Problem Solving: Addressing immediate logistical and personnel challenges. • Customer Relations: Building long-term trust with the residents of Wayne County.
Proven Public Service Pete’s extension from business to public service was driven by a desire to strengthen the infrastructure of his hometown. He has held several pivotal roles that directly impact the quality of life in our community.
