MEET BRENNA
As a candidate for County Commissioner, Brenna is focused on strengthening public safety, protecting taxpayers, and supporting smart growth across Wood County. She supports stronger coordination among fire and EMS providers so communities can share resources, improve response capabilities, and reduce duplication while maintaining local control. She believes the county should serve as a partner by providing data, technical assistance, and targeted support that help communities make informed decisions.
Brenna is committed to responsible financial stewardship and long-term planning. She believes county resources should be used to invest in infrastructure, technology, and risk prevention rather than short term fixes that lead to higher costs down the road. She supports proactive cybersecurity investments, multi-year infrastructure planning, and clear standards for county contracts to ensure public dollars are spent efficiently and transparently.
