Marcus Wiedower Said He Would Help Oconee County Board Of Commissioners Become More Proactive In Dealing With Challenges

Marcus Wiedower said he will bring his listening skills and his planning skills to the Oconee County Board of Commissioners if voters select him for Post II in the special election on Nov 8.

“All I do all day long is plan,” said Wiedower, a custom home builder, in an hour-long interview. He said he will bring to the Commission “an educated, experienced voice” that “has a planning background.”

Wiedower said he would be accessible as a commissioner and “be a voice” for the people in dealing with the biggest challenge facing the county, which he believes is development.

He said the Commission has been overly reactive rather than proactive in dealing with the challenges before it.

The interview with Wiedower is the third of three with candidates for the Post II position on the Board of Commissioners to be featured on Oconee County Observations. The complete video of the interview with Wiedower is at the bottom of this post.

The interview with Ben Bridges was posted on Oct. 2, and the interview with Chuck Horton was posted on Oct. 5.

All three candidates responded to the same basic questions about a wide range of issues facing the county. The interviews with all three candidates were conducted before any of the videos were posted.
