The Big Question
Why am I running for Council?
Why am I running for Council? Why put in so much time and effort for a role that gets so much scrutiny from the public and doesn’t even pay the annual wages of a very part-time job? I seek this role because I get the chance to work hard at work worth doing. That’s the crux of it. Local government is important. The work we do directly impacts the day-to-day lives of all of us. To quote Councilman Mike Ford: “How we do things in local government matters. Understanding the Council-City Manager form of government matters. Earning the trust of colleagues matters.”
"As your Councilman I will treat the role like a full-time job...For the rest of this decade if I am elected, my service will be defined by Council, Rotary, and our church."
Platform Points
First and foremost, I am wholeheartedly nonpartisan. This is at the core of who I am as a candidate. The teamsport machinations of national parties have no place in the minutia of our bi-monthly meetings. I’m not a party-line voter, rather I vote on the issues or the content of the character of the individual at hand. When we cast our votes on public works bids, taxation, special events, or other ordinances throughout Oshkosh, we shouldn’t seek to bring the ideologies of the left or the right to vie for favor, rather we should consider the voices of our neighbors, the history of our neighborhoods, and the future that we’ll be building for our children and generations yet to come.
