Re-Elect

Bruce Anderson

for Clawson City Council

Welcome!

In 1996 my wife and I moved our family to Clawson. We have found Clawson to be a great place to live. The Clawson motto “little city with the big heart” sounds corny when you first hear it - but it really is true. Our children have been educated in the Clawson Schools (K-12 for all three of them). The city services had been good. The city government had run smoothly and effectively. I saw no need to get directly involved with the city government until four years ago. I was elected to restore order from the disorder of 2019-2021.

From 2019-2021, there was significant disorder in the City:

 

  • Four City Managers

  • Five City Clerks

  • A mayor who resigns, and then managed to make a “come back” 4 weeks later.

  • No progress on infrastructure

Since I was elected in 2021, we have had:

  1. A City Manager that has served the last 3.5 years

  2. A City Clerk that has served the last 2 years

  3. A Mayor that stays on the job for 4 years

  4. A Voter-approved infrastructure plan that is already showing results

As a 25-year resident of Clawson, my family and I are heavily invested in the city. I am running for re-election to maintain the progress that has occurred in the last four years.

As an engineer in the automotive industry for the last 33 years, I am familiar with problem solving both as an individual and in working as part of a team.

My top 3 Priorities

  • Maintain a positive working relationship with the City manager

    The City is not run by the City Council. The day-to-day operations (Police, Fire Dept, DPW) are run by the City manager.

    The City Council provides oversight, approves/denies budgets, and guides overall policy.

    The previous 3.5 years under the current City Manager have brought about much improved stability, and improved services. This needs to continue.

  • Maintain Infrastructure Improvements

    The voters of Clawson approved a 64 million dollar infrastructure bond millage.

    The current plan consists of 37 high priority projects.

    This is a multi-year project that will require some level of modifications over time.

    Successful implementation of this plan will require consistent management.

  • Continued co-operation with the Clawson School District

    Clawson is unique in that the boundaries of the city and the school district are exactly the same.

    By comparison, Troy is covered by 7 school districts (Troy, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Warren, Lamphere, Bloomfield Hills, Avondale).

    This allows co-operation between the city government and the school board by sharing resources.

    This co-operation has been promoted by the current City Manager, and needs to continue.

As a candidate for Clawson City Council,

I am asking for your vote on November 4th.
