Lower Wick & Pitmaston
John Ondreasz
I was born in Worcester, I am married with two grown-up children. Living locally puts me at the heart of my community, which I care about greatly. For many years, I worked for major broadcasters covering conflicts in places like Bosnia and Somalia. In my experience, I have seen the good and the bad in humanity. For that reason, I am passionate about protecting our democracy.
I’m thrilled to be running for election again. I’ve always been consumed with preserving our rich local heritage and architecture. I’m a firm believer in sustainable practices to protect our local environment and our wildlife for future generations. I’m committed to supporting our local businesses, the backbone of our community, ensuring they thrive and grow.
Moreover, I truly believe that Worcester’s potential as a tourist destination is undervalued and lacks the support it deserves. We have so much to offer, from historic landmarks to beautiful scenery. Let’s work together to showcase our beautiful city and boost our local economy. I thrive as a problem solver, always eager to think outside the box to find innovative solutions to challenges and problems. Your support means the world to me, and together, we can make a difference.
