Despite Challenges, Ardis Sees Good Days Ahead For Peoria Under New Leadership

Tim Shelley / Peoria Public Radio For the first time in 22 years, Jim Ardis won t have a seat saved for him around the horseshoe in the Peoria City Council chambers. Ardis was first elected to the city council in 1999. He became mayor in 2005 after defeating the late Dave Ransburg. But after a historic four consecutive terms sitting at the head of Peoria city government, Ardis said he and his wife decided it was time to call it quits. We sat down to have our every-four-year talk, and I still had the desire and the passion. Mimi was very supportive, as she always has been. And I think the difference this time is, she said, Well, just keep in mind, we re both going to be 62 this spring. We have a couple of grandchildren. One of our kids is getting married this summer. And you know, in four more years we ll be 66.
