Scott Dudley
Former Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley is currently in a life-or-death health battle.
According to a GoFundMe launched Friday by his family, he was “rushed to the hospital with a severe health crisis” three weeks ago.
“His condition was critical, and he was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit, where he has been receiving round-the-clock medical care ever since.”
The family states that “doctors are cautiously optimistic about his progress, but the road ahead is long and complex.”
“As he battles through these difficult phases, we are faced with mounting medical bills and expenses that have added great financial strain to our family.”
The GoFundMe, which is set at $50,000, has generated $2,490 in the first three hours.
Dudley, a US veteran who was always staunchly pro-Navy, was elected as Oak Harbor’s mayor in 2011 and served one term.
A former city councilman, he garnered 57% of the vote, defeating incumbent Jim Slowik.
His time in the big office was marked by many clashes with city council members and other leaders, guaranteeing big headlines and plenty of buzz.
