Garry Bredefeld serves constituents well

After reading the Political Notebook article in The Bee online, I noticed former Councilman Garry Bredefeld has decided to run for the Fresno City Council District 6 seat. Bredefeld is a businessman and was an officer in the armed forces after graduating from college.

I served with Garry during his first term and remember how hard he worked for his constituents. He remained an independent voice when making important decisions. As special interest groups continue to dominate Fresno’s politics, it is refreshing to see someone whose primary concern is the welfare of the people of Fresno.

Our family will be supporting Mr. Bredefeld in his return to civic life.
