Name: James Varga

Occupation: Steam Service Mechanic

Why I'm running for office:

I’ve lived in the city of Oak Creek my entire life and graduated from Oak Creek High School. I’ve raised three children and I’ve watched as they all progressed and graduated.

Quality education is hard to come by in today's society and I believe that every child deserves the right to a quality education. I want each child to have the same experience my children and I have had in our time in Oak Creek.

The top two issues as I see them:

1. Our district is expanding, we need to ensure that all students are provided for and that every dollar is spent wisely.

2. Ensuring that every stakeholder, faculty member, and community member has a seat at the table during decision making negotiations.
