About
My name is Robert Fuchs (53) and I’m married to my wife Steffi since 23 years and we live in Oroville since 2000.Our daughter Lena (19) is going to Western Washington University to study psychology and our son Paul (14) is going to be in high school after summer. I’m an elected member of the Oroville City Council since last year and a member of the Oroville May Day Board. I was a volunteer for the Oroville Fire Department for 10 years
Originally from Germany my wife and I became proud U.S. citizens five years ago. I worked for Prince’s/Hughes Department Store for 13 years, the last few years as a manager. Since 2016 I’m working night security at Veranda Beach and drive a school bus in Oroville.
Even with being the candidate with the least experience I will take a look at old problems with a new set of eyes. I have an open mind to find new solutions for ongoing and longtime unresolved county issues.
-The county budget is tight as everybody knows, to generate more revenue and jobs we should find investors to create tourist attractions to get more Canadians across the border.
-There are not a lot of things to do for our youth in Tonasket and Oroville. If some of these teenagers have nothing good to do they do something bad (drugs,crimes etc.). If we have Youth centers with professional social workers, would give these teenagers a save place to meet friends and learn new things. This way they can stay on the right path.
-The unemployment is of course a big issue. I will work towards creating more jobs threw apprenticeship programs. These job opportunities give young adults,who are not going to college, the change to learn a trade without moving away.
