Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Robert Ross, and I have placed my name on the ballot for city council Ward III.

I grew up in Green River and decided to bring my family back to Green River to raise my children. I went to Green River High School, graduated from Penn State University, and now I work as a financial advisor helping people plan for the future in Green River.

I have three important girls in my life: my wife, Iuliia, Alina, my 7-year-old, and Glasha, my 3-year-old.

What do you see as the most important issues in your candidacy and how will you address them?

I decided to run for city council because I grew up in Green River, and things have changed quite a bit since I lived here as a child.

Some of those changes were made without involving the good people of Green River. I want to help change things in Green River for the better by being a voice influenced by the people who live here.

There are a few issues that are very important to me that I want to change.

1. More transparency and accountability on how public funds are spent.
2. A municipal deer management program to help control the deer population in the city better.
3. A plan to repair the damaged roads in town without special taxes.
4. A better plan to attract new businesses to Green River while still supporting the existing businesses.

I want to be a part of the change Green River needs. I feel that my education and current job developing solutions for people has given me the skills needed to bring Green River into the future.  As a member of the city council, I will be in a position to develop solutions for some of the city’s problems.

The public needs someone they feel comfortable approaching with new ideas that may actually leave the kitchen table, and I plan on being the most approachable city council member in Green River.
