WHY BILL WINTER

IS YOUR BEST CHOICE FOR MAYOR

This is Oxnard’s first time to redirect its City Council. Bill Winter is one of those New Voices needed as Oxnard faces the hard choices our future will demand of us.

This is why:

• Bill has been an active voice on the Neighborhood Council – he has volunteered hundreds of hours for the city’s neighborhood services program and he is a firm believer in resident rights & empowerment – especially in municipal government decision making.

• Bill believes in preserving our agricultural heritage and will pursue curtailing the uncontrolled development that is gobbling up precious farm land and adding to our traffic and over-crowding.

• Bill will address the issues of Oxnard’s infrastructure in anticipation of the approved growth we will experience. This means, creating better roads, building more schools, and adopting a realistic traffic plan to make driving in Oxnard easier. Active tree planting is high priority.

• Bill has been a strong advocate of public safety who feels that Oxnard needs a Police Commission to address growing citizen concerns and to assist the Council with public safety and policy issues.

The list is even longer.

This year, we face the possibility of reseating a business-as-usual Mayor. Please do not elect politicians who represent the country-club “us four and no more” mentality.

Elect someone who has been a voice for the people, someone who has not been afraid to address the issues squarely and someone who seeks redress on issues when the council has failed to listen to Oxnard’s residents.

BIOGRAPHY:

Bill Winter was raised in suburban New Jersey where he graduated high school and immediately joined the navy.

He served in the navy as a journalist aboard the aircraft carrier USS America. The carrier operated in the Mediterranean where Bill toured Europe, studying art and architecture while on leave around the continent.

After the navy, he attended the University of Maine, where he earned an Associates in Graphic Arts. He came to California after touring universities on the eastern seaboard, New Orleans, Texas, Arizona and eventually California.

He completed his Bachelors in Radio TV Communications from San Francisco State University. After working in some media-related positions, he opted to re-join the navy and came to Port Hueneme to serve as the battalion journalist for NMCB-40. After being honorably discharged, Bill decided to remain in Oxnard as he had enjoyed the area since first arriving in 1987. Since then, he has been active in local politics, first running for Council in 1992.

While assigned to the Seabees, Bill became a pen-pal with former President Reagan. In 1993, he and his wife were invited to meet the President in his Century City office. This meeting was an encouragement for Bill to seek service as a representative in local government. Currently, Bill is in his second term as Neighborhood Chair for the Wilson Neighborhood Council and he rose to Chair of the city-wide Inter-Neighborhood Council (INCF) for the City of Oxnard.

Public service is important to Bill and he sees his running for Mayor as the best way he can serve Oxnard.
