Re-elect Winston
For the past 4 years, Winston has served as Vice Mayor and as a commissioner for the Planning Commission. During this tenure, the City has enacted an effective tree ordinance which (will be further amended), implemented sensible building regulations to prevent overbuilding, and restricted excessive storm water runoff - all while operating with a budget surplus.
​
As a native of Oak Hill, Winston believes that the City should remain entirely residential and that the bucolic character of the Oak Hill neighborhood should be preserved. He looks forward to keeping Oak Hill residential, maintaining the character of the neighborhood, and continuing to improve the management and governance of Oak Hill.
​​
He would love to hear from you to discuss any of these issues.
