Why I’m running: Government, in our country, is supposed to be “Of the People, By the People, and For the People.” I believe the current administration has lost sight of these basic tenants and if I have learned anything in my 10 years of military service; it was that you can LEAD, FOLLOW, or GET OUT OF THE WAY!
I’m PRO LEADERSHIP!
Greatest Challenges: I believe our biggest challenges lie in the area of budget and finance. Just like you or I, if you don’f forecast and adhere to a strict budgeting process difficulties aren’t far behind. I feel the current administration is far too reliant on the “cash cow” utilities department and we owe it to the residents of Winner to work under a balanced budget and be better stewards of their tax dollars!
Infrastructure is good; road, water and sewer improvements are under contract. Weak utility poles are being identified and replaced.
I believe we need to explore more ways of retaining our young adults and give them more reasons to return to Winner and raise their families. I believe that this can be accomplished in part by fostering working relationships with our area business owners and major employers so that community and business are working together to accomplish common goals.
Kind of Councilman: I have only survived 25 years of business ownership because of supportive family, the Grace of God, and some common core values: honesty, integrity, and the will to persevere.
If elected to be your Councilman, I will only be there because of the people of Ward 1 who exercised their right to vote….(OF & BY the People). I will then be responsible to the residents to ensure my actions represent their WILL….(FOR the People)!
Thank you for your time and support,
Clint Woods, candidate for Winner City Council – Ward 1

Why are you running for a seat on the Winner City Council? I view running for Winner City Council as an opportunity that will serve not only as a learning experience, but also enable me to be a voice for our younger generations.
What do you see as the biggest challenges or the biggest issues facing the city of Winner? I truly believe the biggest challenges for our City of Winner revolve around the low number of young adults attracted to moving to Winner or returning to Winner after college to plant their roots, build a successful career, raise their families, and be positive contributors to our town.
What kind of city councilman would you be? A young, ambitious conservative.
Occupation: State Trooper, SD Highway Patrol

Why are your running for a seat on the Winner City Council? I’ve been fortunate to have served as the Ward 1 City Councilman for the last four years. During this period of time the City of Winner has continued to experience improvements to its infrastructure and recreational facilities, while maintaining financial stability. During the last four years, I have also increased my knowledge regarding the inner-workings of city government and the details involved in day-to-day operations, as well as the foresight required to set future goals for maintenance/improvements, and growth/development. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to serve on several committees, expanding my knowledge of various departments within our city.
What do you see as the biggest challenges or the biggest issues facing the city of Winner? Our city continues to face numerous challenges, to include continuation of improvements in our aging infrastructure and developing growth in our businesses and recreational facilities, all while maintaining a strong financial status. Although situations can often become quite complex and have opposing views, I believe personnel issues are an on-going process that involves prudent review, in-depth discussion, and at times, difficult decisions.
What kind our city councilman would you be? If re-elected to continue serving as your Ward 1 City Councilman, I offer my continued commitment to listen to the concerns of our citizens and maintain open communication, working for the people, with the Mayor and other elected officials, to maintain the positive direction of our city government.
