Fiscal Responsibility: Bill’s financial expertise and dedication to the community is desperately needed. In 2008, he analyzed the Summit County budget and predicted that the county would have experience a deficit of over $12 million despite the County’s projection of only $4 million. Deficits have continued without proactive action. Bill will work diligently to control spending, increase revenue through economic development and serve the citizens of Summit County on a full time basis. With 3 children and an elderly mother, he is vitally aware of the issues facing families with children and the elderly in Summit County.

Senior Citizens: Retired Americans have a wide range of skills and knowledge to contribute to local and national public service efforts. Bill frequently helps his 86 year old mother with medical and tax issues. Bill will engage more interested seniors into public service opportunities by supporting programs like Senior Corps to connect seniors with quality volunteer opportunities.

Support Job Creation: Bill Roemer believes we need to agressively pursue federal funding for basic research to help create high-paying, secure jobs. Bill will encourage long-term investments in education, training, and workforce development so that Summit County can leverage our strengths - our ingenuity and entrepreneurialism - to create new high-wage jobs and prosper in a world economy.


Environmental Issues: Since the beginning, our environment has been a source of our strength. Access to natural resources, clean water and land spurred the growth of our nation. As stewards of the land it is our duty to insure that we keep our environment as clean as possible, for our posterity and ourselves. I firmly believe that every individual should do his or her part to reduce consumption of energy and raw materials. My family has owned land in Summit County for over 75 years. We have never developed this but instead maintained it to benefit the environment and preserve it for future generations.
