Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Thank you so much for supporting my campaign! I am honored and proud to be your independent voice on the Berkley City Council. Together we will make Berkley an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.
An Independent Voice for Berkley
Dear Neighbor,
I am running for Berkley City Council because I want to be your independent voice at the table. Our city needs a council of independent thinkers in which each member can present the diverse views of the voters. I will use that input to establish and maintain a vision, strategy, and plan that will ensure Berkley's successful future.
About Phil O'Dwyer
I am a 28-year resident of Berkley and have years of involvement in various aspects of our community life, including: Berkley City Council, Founding member of Berkley Youth Soccer, Coach for Berkley Soccer and Hoops, Strategic Planning Committee for the Berkley School District, Public Safety Committee, and Berkley Citizens Committee, among others.
Platform
The most critical issue for Berkley, as for most municipalities, is Financial Security. Diminishing resources that result from the combination of Proposition A and the Headlee rollback require careful budgeting and spending restraint.
I will ensure prudent management of our limited funds, investment only in projects that contribute to the long-term security of Berkley, and I will seek to attract valued businesses to fill our empty buildings. I will work closely with our representatives in Lansing to ensure that Berkley gets its fair share of revenue.
