Loren Roszel is running for Bartlesville City Council in Ward 2. He made that annoucement COMMUNITY CONNECTION on Wednesday.

Roszel has been involved with many organizations in the Bartlesville area in many capacities.

Roszel has considered running for City Council for a few years because he has a passion to serve his community and see his town grow and prosper.  After talking with his wife, family, friends, and receiving a lot of encouragement from community members he decided to run. With our current City Councilman for Ward 2 stepping down, Roszel thinks it is the right time for me to step up and serve my community. As part of the City Council, He believes he can help Bartlesville continue all the things that make it a great place to live and work, and help it overcome some of the challenges we face. He has  many thoughts and ideas about how he can continue the legacy of greatness that has built Bartlesville to be such an amazing city and community and what we need to do better he is sure he will have opportunities to tell people about in the coming months

Roszel said he will spend the next few months continuing to speak with members of the community and residents of his Ward, listening to them, and hearing what their thoughts and ideas are so that he can represent them better in my role as City Councilman.

After college he came back to live in Bartlesville. Roszel lived for short stints in Nowata, OK and Wann, OK until 2011 when he returned to Bartlesville.
