I am pleased to announce the support and endorsement of former Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood. Mayor Wood was a dedicated public servant who served our city for more than four decades as police officer, detective, council member and mayor. Mayor Wood left a lasting legacy of prioritizing public safety, fighting crime, and protecting our seniors. His leadership has helped propel Oceanside into one of the most unique and livable beach communities in California. Getting through the health pandemic safely is critical to ensure we continue on our trajectory.
Mayor Wood Says, “Ryan has the proven leadership and experience as a former police officer and law enforcement executive to get our city through this crisis. Please join me in support of Ryan Keim for Oceanside City Council.”
I have worked closely with Mayor Wood throughout my career and I share his passion for having the best trained and equipped firefighters, lifeguards, and police officers. This pivotal focus on public safety has transformed Oceanside and brought crime to historically low levels. Now more than ever, it is crucial we hire exceptional officers that continue to reflect the diversity of Oceanside, then provide the best training and ensure they treat our residents with the dignity and respect they deserve. I am confident we can get through these tough times together. It is an honor to have Mayor Wood’s confidence to represent Oceanside and I hope to continue his legacy of service.
