Choose Brand and Bredefeld to lead Fresno

Municipal budgets are out of control. Special-interest groups continue to support bond measures encumbering our childrens’ future. However, there is a bright spot in the upcoming election.

Garry Bredefeld, a clinical psychologist, and Lee Brand, a successful businessman, are candidates to represent the people of Fresno. Brand, running for mayor, has worked hard to assure vendors asking for public money are properly vetted and has managed a successful real estate business for over 30 years.

Bredefeld, a Navy veteran and Fresno City Council candidate, has worked tirelessly to help retired military personnel. I strongly recommend Brand and Bredefeld as the best choices to lead Fresno.
