Elect Robert Smiley on Nov 8th
City Councilman Robert Smiley is running to be your next Oakland County Commissioner in the new 14th District serving portions of Commerce and Novi, as well as all of Walled Lake, and Wixom. With the economy and jobs in the delicate state that they are, it is more important than ever to send experienced people to Pontiac who understand that governing is about serving the public and enacting policies and laws that enable individuals, businesses, and communities to prosper.
Priorities
As a two-term city councilman, Rob knows what is needed to keep the county functioning and within budget; working with cities, townships, and villages to make sure they have the services they require and to ensure policies benefit our residents.
Public Safety
Sheriff Bouchard is being asked to cut his budget by $1.5M after cutting it $1.5M last year. As a city councilman, public safety has always been Rob's top priority. Rob has learned to maximize funding with limited and fluctuating budgets.
Sustainability
It is important to be good stewards of our planet, but the “Green New Deal” plan for Oakland County is filled with expensive and unproven objectives that will do more harm than good to Oakland County. Our economy can't afford more regulation.
Meet Rob
Rob is a husband and father of three amazing boys. Family is what ultimately fuels Rob’s passion to maintain and improve his community. He has his own small design and marketing business. He’s been active in the community for many years, providing his abilities as a designer where ever needed, as well as coaching kids and supporting our veterans.
Smiley believes in small government with fewer regulations that encourages the private sector to flourish. The government should exist to be fiscally responsible, ensure security for its citizens while protecting their rights, and being accessible and transparent.
Experienced and dedicated
Rob has worked with fellow city officials for policies that make for an efficient and cost-effective administration:
• passed municipal ordinances and budgets
• made appropriations
• worked to lower local tax rates
Public Safety
Rob will continue to always vote for the funds and support that our police need to keep our communities safe.
Looking Out for Taxpayers
Rob successfully worked to lower local tax rates in Wixom as well as for balanced budgets each year. He has been a consistent voice for wise spending of our tax dollars and living within our means.
Responding to Your Needs
Rob has made it a priority to be accessible and responsive to residents’ needs. He is always willing to resolve or help resolve residents’ concerns.
Infrastructure
He will focus on Capital Improvement Planning – improve roads and infrastructure and look for solutions to our growing traffic problems.
