Dear Mayor, Council Members, City Manager and City Clerk: 1 am honored to have served on the (OMAG) Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group's Board of Trustees since August 2018, and I am a king for your support as I seek re-election. I began my career with the City of Broken Bow in 1997.1 worked my way up the ladder over the past 27 plus years, starting out as the Landfill Secretary, the Public Works Billing Clerk, City Clerk for 6 years, and for the pa t I 3 1/2 years as City Manager. It has been an honor to get to know and work with OMAG's team over the years for our city's insurance needs. Broken Bow participates in OMAG's general liability, property, and workers compensation plans. My experience as City Manager and as City Clerk has taught me that municipal budgets are tight. That is why I fully support OMAG's grant programs that help purchase much needed equipment, such as police body worn cameras and public works safety equipment. OMAG also provides scholarships to many conferences and educational opportunities allowing our municipal employees access to education that city and town budgets might not permit. I would greatly appreciate your vote and support in this election. 1 f you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your time and consideration.

As the City Manager of Coweta, I bring over 18 years of diverse experience in local government, having served in various roles across Oklahoma and Wisconsin. My career has included positions such as Licensing Specialist, Accountant Analyst, Budget Manager, Finance Director, City Clerk, HR Director, and Assistant City Manager. These roles have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of municipal operations and leadership. I am a native of Oklahoma and I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a Master of Business Administration with a focus on Finance and Marketing. My combined experience in private industry and nearly two decades of public service gives me a unique perspective on the intersection of government and business. Over the years, I have gained a deep appreciation for the challenges faced by medium and small communities. If elected, I am committed to advocating for the needs of our municipalities and ensuring their voices are heard. One significant issue many of our communities face is sewer overflows. OMAG provides critical resources, including funding and technical assistance, to address and mitigate this costly problem. If elected, I will champion these and other essential programs that benefit our municipalities. Thank you for considering my candidaey.

With a deep-rooted passion for strengthening local communities and extensive experience in municipal governance, I believe I am well-suited to contribute to the mission of OMAG. Presently I live in MCLoud with my wife Stormy and three small kiddos. I love what living in a close knit community and small town atmosphere brings to our family and I want to help other communities across the State to continue to have strong communities that we all love and are proud of! Over the past decade, I have devoted myself to advocating for robust and responsive local governments. My journey began on the local parks board and progressed through various elected and appointed positions, including serving as Mayor of MCLoud as well as the Vice-Mayor and City Councilman in Midwest City. Previously, I have also served as the General Counsel for the Oklahoma Municipal League as well as a municipal attorney for numerous local governments statewide. I have focused my efforts with the aim of fostering strong and resilient communities. My educational background includes a Juris Doctorate from Oklahoma City University School of Law, where I graduated Cum Laude as a Hatton W. Sumners Scholar, a Masters in Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma, and dual Bachelors degrees in Economics and Political Science from the University of central Oklahoma. I am committed to the belief that the government closest to the people is the most responsive and effective. My experience working on successful economic development projects, serving as legal counsel on numerous complex legal municipal issues, as well as chairing various special projects has equipped me with the skills and insights necessary to support the varied needs of Oklahoma municipalities. I am eager to bring my experience and vision to the OMAG Board. I respectfully ask for your support and vote in this upcoming election.
