Bob Thompson

Councilmember Thompson is a 24 year resident of Norman and the owner of Midway Grocery and Deli. He began his official service as councilmember for Ward One in July, 2005.

Ward One includes the area west of East 36th Avenue to 24th Avenue N.E. between Robinson and Lindsey; 24th Avenue N.E. to 12th Avenue N.E. between Alameda and State Highway Nine; with the west boundary between Imhoff Road and State Highway Nine being Classen Boulevard

Improving life in all neighborhoods and insuring fair treatment for all tops Thompson's list of priorities with a strong emphasis on neighborhood associations and the formation of coalitions to strengthen the citizens voice in local government. Thompson has always been active in neighborhoods, and in Norman's Core Area where his business is located. He uses his skill of one-on-one communication to further his goal of being an independent voice for the citizens of Norman seeking better access to their city government.

Thompson supports growth that maintains the quality of life no matter how big Norman gets and the funding of the basic needs of Norman first, such as fire protection, law enforcement, solutions to traffic congestion, flooding, street repair, and enforcement of code compliance. He believes in the citizens right to vote on utility rate increases.

Councilmember Thompson serves as Chair of the Council Oversight Commission and is a member of the Finance Commission.  He is a member of the Downtowners Association.
