Dave Stram: Caring about people, services

It is a privilege to share with the citizens of Creswell my thoughts on why I am running for Mayor. Since 1982 Creswell has been my home; I moved here after graduating from college and became the pastor at the Creswell Church of Christ (1982- ’12).  It was easy to fall in love with Creswell – the people were friendly and the small-town setting was a welcome change from the hustle-and-bustle of California.  No wonder my family has stayed!
