Why Brad?
Openness and Accountability
Good governance means meeting constituents where they are, communicating with them, and always having open two-way conversations about what can or cannot be done and, more importantly, why. It also means holding yourself accountable to all of your constituents, not just the ones who donate to you or promise you their vote. Clermont county deserves true representation – at all levels of government. Now more than ever, politics is local.
Fresh viewpoints/ ideas and end single-party rule
With this election, we have an opportunity to get fresh ideas on the Board. Put simply, the Board has been the same for several years now, and these races have historically not been contested. Given a choice, I believe Clermont County residents will choose a Board with a more diverse collection of ideas and experiences – we can tackle the unique challenges we face in Clermont County.
The Clermont County Board of Commissioners has been comprised only of Republicans for decades. We need only to look at state and federal politics to know that we get better results when we have an effective dialogue and exchange of ideas. Simply put, as a Democrat I will not only provide a different point of view, but will work every day to learn from my colleagues, and to achieve compromise.
Prioritize county spending to do the most good
One of the most important responsibilities a County Board has is the stewardship and spending of its resources/budget. Not only does the Board need to be thoughtful in how it allocates funds to existing programs; it also needs to identify new revenue sources to improve the lives of Clermont County residents – without getting into their pockets.
