Oak View, I am listening
Help shape a results-first plan for our community. I am Michael Koslow, a 33-year military veteran, former federal special agent, and small business owner running for Congress in California’s 26th District. My focus is practical problem solving that supports working families, protects small businesses, and ensures communities like Oak View are not overlooked.
Oak View sits at the gateway to the Ojai Valley and reflects the hardworking character of Ventura County. Residents here value their community, their independence, and their connection to the land. But like many smaller communities, Oak View faces rising costs, infrastructure pressures, and the need for stronger public safety and emergency preparedness. You deserve a representative who listens first and works to deliver practical solutions.
