He was elected as Saginaw City Councilman and as Mayor Pro Tem for two terms, as well as, County Commissioner-District 9, where he acquired excellent oratory skills and the ability to hold large audiences in awe. He has served on the Saginaw Board of Public Health with me for six (6) months.

I am a proud supporter of him and strongly endorse him as the State Representative – 95th District."

Mr. O’Neal didn’t always vote the way I would have liked, but I respect him because I knew his decisions were made after hearing all the facts. In all of my observations of various meetings, Mr. O’Neal would be fair and listen to the issues with an open mind. I believe this is what makes him who he is, and he has my full support for State Representative of the 95th district. I only wish I could vote for him."
