Statement: 

Following his election to City Council, Hoffmire was appointed to the American Rescue Plan subcommittee lobbying for critical infrastructure repairs and increased public safety. His efforts allowed for successfully delivering on his campaign promises to lower utility rates. His resolve is stronger than ever with the goal of an affordable Oak Harbor (OH).

Hoffmire continues advocating for intentional economic development focused on making OH safer and more livable for its citizenry. Communication between local government and OH citizens has been at an all-time high, however there is still work to be done. It's through community partnerships that we can build a stronger foundation in which OH residents can have access to more diverse job market opportunities, activities, entertainment, and mental health programs.

As Mayor, Hoffmire will bring his outstanding track record and continue his work encouraging civic engagement. He will continue to expand on the growth he has helped afford OH and will protect his successful changes thus far. Oak Harbor citizens are largely concerned about the affordability of their beloved city. A vote for Shane Hoffmire is a vote for continued progress towards an affordable, livable, and more transparent Oak Harbor.
