The Platform
Expanding Public Transit
As a co-founder of a nonprofit that provides rides, Russell understands how transportation is too often a barrier to work, education, and community services.
Solutions for Unhoused Neighbors
Russell has spent years connecting the unhoused with community services including work programs, housing, and delivering meals during extreme weather.
Accessible & Affordable Housing
Working families need solutions as housing and rent has risen faster than wages. The median income in Norman is only $30,000 and the average rent is $15,000 per year. (Census Bureau, Zillow)
Sustainable Development
As a union electrician, Russell understands what it takes to build with a responsibility to our neighbors, environment, and tax dollars, including protecting Ward 2 voters from unnecessary runoff and the use of public tax dollars for personal gain.
