Brand would make a great mayor
At a time when our national elections, at best, give us no clear choice for a president who can lead us out of the morass we are in, it’s refreshing to have that choice in Fresno. Mayor Ashley Swearengin has led Fresno through the big recession and executed her vision to put us on the track to Fresno being great.
Lee Brand has not only been there with her through the whole process but has made meaningful contributions to the success we are seeing.
Lee has demonstrated that he is someone who sees a problem, researches it carefully, comes up with solutions, then executes successfully. He is someone who knows Fresno, all of it. He grew up on the southeast side of town and understands the issues there as well as the big picture for all of Fresno.
Lee is the one candidate for mayor who can keep us going in the right direction and lead Fresno to greater prosperity for all residents.
