Oldham’s priorities as a Council Member are working to ensure the town provides a family-centered, safe, and wholesome quality of life for all residents.

He enjoys the friendly people that live and work in Sahuarita. Local shopping excursions sometimes require extended periods of time because of the engaging conversations with residents about town and family experiences. “It is a pleasure to move about the community and be received with a smile and a hand shake,” Oldham says.

He also loves the location. “Within 30 minutes or less, I can be hiking in the Santa Rita Mountains or attending a concert in Tucson; after taking part in these experiences, return to a quiet, restful Sahuarita.”
