  1. I will vote for any local name that runs for office and believes in small town principles. I don’t need any more of the big city influences that is running and ruining Brenham. Management and planning has done more harm than good the past five years. Another five years of the same planning will permanently ruin Brenham

  2. I would love to but I have to work out of town to be able to afford to live here. I would not be able to give the citizens the support they deserve. Plus I am to truthful to be a politician. Thanks for the support. What about you? Sure wish people would leave their real name.

  3. Since some in Burton think mobile homes overtaking the town is a good thing, I propose anyone that understands the fundamentals of real estate consider running. If you want your home to devalue, then you obviously have no clue or are incapable of understanding RE.

  4. Hopefully Brenham citizens will take their city back. This is a chance for brenham citizens to take control and hire responsible city manager system, responsible city planner. If you have been given the run-around with your business sign approval? Are you tired of the blight of teeny weeny neighborhood lot houses? Bad street maintenance? Are you tired of planners using your money for all the tax breaks for move in business and corporations? I am ! It is time for big change.

  5. Ok people now is our time to shake up the city council. We need to find people to run against the old guard. Time for change. We can not let this chance slip away.

    2. I assume by this post you are “throwing your hat into the ring”? Let me know where I can send a campaign contribution!!! You know what they say….”put up or shut up”
