The Winnebago County Board in Wisconsin is the county's legislative body, composed of 36 Supervisors who set policies, approve budgets, establish tax levies, and oversee county services, operating under state law and county rules to represent their constituents and promote community well-being, meeting monthly in Oshkosh. This is a non-partisan position. Elected supervisors serve a 2-year term.
My experience upholding government regulations and ensuring compliance in my current job has equipped me with a strong understanding of standards, accountability, and public trust—skills directly applicable to serving on the Winnebago County Board.
Additionally, my proven ability to navigate high-pressure situations, resolve conflicts diplomatically, and maintain positive relationships with diverse stakeholders has prepared me to effectively represent constituents, collaborate with colleagues, and address complex county issues with fairness and professionalism.
These experiences make me a grounded, practical candidate ready to prioritize fiscal responsibility, community needs, and transparent governance for Winnebago County.
County government can enhance energy efficiency by upgrading HVAC/insulation and LED lighting. Energy audits can also be utilized in order to track savings.
Renewable energy should definitely be considered as it will help save tax payers money in the long term.
State and federal loan/grants are possible funding sources for these upgrades.
I believe the two most important issues facing the county are the budget deficit and deferred maintenance as well as the affordable housing shortage.
For the budget deficit, we could prioritize energy efficiency upgrades in county properties to reduce long term expenses as well as seek federal/state grants.
For the affordable housing shortage, we need to utilize spirits funds to encourage development and creation of new homes.
The best use of the Spirit fund money is for affordable housing or for infrastructure and cost share programs.
Decisions about the use of the money are made via the ARPA commission with county board approval.
The county organizes housing efforts through the Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority (OHWCHA). This anuthority administers federal programs like Section 8 vouchers. It provides resources, lists housing options, supports low-income families/seniors/disabled residents, and partners with nonprofits. The county also funds initiatives like revolving loan funds for development.
A few programs that might be implemented would be inclusionary zoning or partnerships for more vouchers.
