My Top Issues

Education

Owura will support massive investment across the board in our school system Owura will support Teacher’s Unions. Owura believes that if you motivate a teacher, you motivate society.

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

Owura will work with law enforcement to get guns off the streets through the buyback program. Safer streets mean safer communities and safer communities mean our.

Education

I saw schools that barely had teachers, and sometimes classed had to be combined due to no teaching staff, lack of adequate teaching equipment and the demotivation among the teaching staff.

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

Owura will work with law enforcement to get guns off the streets through the buyback program. Safer streets mean safer communities and safer communities mean our.

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

The law officers are not our enemies. They are our protectors when needed. Owura will work to strengthen the relationship between law enforcement officers and residents, and to shatter the myth around officers.

Education

Owura is committed to working with parents to have a reasonable say in the curriculum taught in the Worcester Public Schools. The relationship between Parents and teachers will be strengthened. My experience working as a a substitute teacher in the Worcester Public Schools has made me recognize the disparity within the school system.

Infrastructure / Transportation

With the recent increase in population comes congestion within the City. Owura believes that a well-planned city will involve spreading social facilities evenly across the City. I-290 is still a problem and effort will be made to address this with the appropriate State and Federal agencies.

Education

As a father of three teenagers, Owura has a skin in the game and will seek avenues to promote youth initiatives. Owura will support more youth programs within the various schools, more funding for after-school programs, and the promotion of musical intellect within the City.

Arts / Culture

Worcester, Mass is the all-American city for a reason. Owura believes that Worcester can develop and still maintain its cultural diversity. While we believe that more development is good for the Worcester economy, Owura will support any program that will preserve, protect and enhance the cultural and ancient landmarks.

Economy

As a business owner himself, Owura will look for the best interest of local businesses while seeking better/lower prices for Worcester residents. Owura will support policies that will protect local business from big companies.
