The Oakridge Alderman, Place 2 is one voting member of the Town of Oak Ridge council, a small town east of Gainesville in Cooke County. The job is local: it affects Oak Ridge town government, not the City of Gainesville or all of Cooke County. “Place 2” is the numbered council seat, not a separate department.

An alderman helps decide town rules, the budget, taxes or fees, public works, water, code enforcement, and local police matters. The person listens to residents, votes in public meetings, and helps set policy for town staff to carry out. Think of it as a neighborhood-scale city council role for Oak Ridge.
