1). Maintaining Oakland’s long history of fiscal responsibility. 2). Making improvements to Backstoppers Park that will not only enhance the experience and appearance but also ensure that kids will have more fun there. 3). Improving the bridge over Gravois Creek at Oakland Road. Providing safer pedestrian access is key.
My family and I have lived in Oakland for many years and I’ve served on the Oakland planning and zoning commission for over 20 years, including several as the chair. It’s a truly awesome community and I’m happy to use my time to give back and help it become even better.
