Dear Citizens of Holdenville, My daughter is Julie West and she is running for the ward one seat on the city council. I wanted to write this letter to introduce you to the Julie that I know and raised.

January is School Board Appreciation month and Holdenville Public schools would like to recognize and say thank you for the service and support of our local school board. The following members of the board serve a 5 year term and throughout their term, spend countless hours supporting our school system.

Often times, people assume that all they know is all there is to know. They assume that if they don’t know something, it simply must be because it hasn’t happened. Nothing could be truer for those who spend a good portion of their time on Facebook criticizing the work of Holdenville’s Mayor and City Council. These critics assume because they have not been at the table when decisions were made and have not heard about the things that were done, that the mayor and council must be sitting on their hands, laughing as they watch the city fall. Nothing could be further from the truth. The current mayor, John Massad and several council members have been working around the clock to keep this city propped up and functioning week to week. The idea that our mayor works “part-time” is laughable to anyone who has actually been involved in the work of the city these past three years and not just criticizing from the bleachers. The following is not a complete list, but only a few of the things the new administration has accomplished since being elected in April of 2019.
