Candidate for
Council member; City of Oakdale

As one who has worked in the valley for many years, and as a citizen of Oakdale, we need to preserve and enhance the quality of life that has made Oakdale such a special place to call home.

I believe I can provide the leadership, knowledge, and commitment to help us face today's challenges and guide Oakdale into the future.

As a business owner, I know the difficulties of starting a business and the challenges our business community faces. I will work toward making Oakdale a more business - and government - friendly community. Having successfully completed a career in law enforcement, I understand the role of public safety and the need for our police and fire departments to have adequate resources to perform thier jobs. Furthermore, my experience with youth and seniors throughout my career has given me a unique insight into the problems they face today.

As your Councilman, I pledge to provide the leadership and experience needed to maintain fiscal responsibility and make public safety my top priority. I will work toward retaining and expanding Oakdale businesses, maintaining balanced growth, and promoting opportunities for youth and seniors.
