Attached is information on an Oakland Township resident who is running for a Parks and Recreation position in the August 2nd primary election. After the last election, one of the elected Commissioners resigned. The Township Board filled the seat by appointing an individual. The rules require that the seat be filled with an elected individual at the next available election. For that reason, there is only one Commissioner position on the ballot this time. Please consider MATT PEKLO when you vote on August 2nd. His qualifications are listed below. You can also go to his website for more information on his priorities.
