A Lifetime of Service. A Leader for Taylor's Future.
Meet Herman "Butch" Ramik
Vietnam Veteran • Police Officer • City Councilman • Community Leader
For over 40 years, I've served this community with honor and integrity. From the battlefields of Vietnam to the streets of Taylor, I've never backed down from a fight for what's right. Now, I'm ready to bring that same courage and dedication to the Mayor's office.
A Life Dedicated to Service
The Man Behind the Mission
"Always do everything you ask of those you command." - General George S. Patton
Born and raised to serve, I've dedicated my entire life to protecting and serving others. My journey has taken me from the jungles of Vietnam to the halls of Taylor City Council, always guided by the principles of honor, integrity, and service.
