Campaign themes
2015
Brennan's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Fiscal Responsibility
- Excerpt: "An annual balanced budget is not an option, it’s the key ingredient to making sure the citizens get first and foremost what they have paid their local government to provide; safe neighborhoods, affordable utilities and the amenities that add to an enriched quality of life such as well maintained streets, libraries, parks etc."
Safety of our Neighborhoods
- Excerpt: "Our neighborhoods should be safer in all our diverse communities. We can achieve this, not only by increasing the numbers in our police force, but also by creating an outreach program that celebrates police officers as the role models and heroes that they are. It’s time to start thinking outside of the box when it comes to protecting our neighborhoods."
Open and Limited Government
- Excerpt: "I believe, as many of you do, that government needs to be smaller and more efficient, our neighborhoods and cities – safer and more secure. I recognize that if we focus on what works, such as free markets and less government red tape, then a smarter more robust economy will flourish."
Our Business Community
- Excerpt: "As a small business owner, I value and understand the role of small business as the driving force behind vibrant cities and the foundation of what drives the American dream for many. I vow to support small business by instituting policies that would make our city more business friendly for all."
Community Services and Enhancements
- Excerpt: "It is the job of the mayor to ensure that municipal services such as parks and recreation, libraries, affordable transportation are all available to our citizens. In addition, I will work to eliminate FAA flight patterns that threaten to disrupt the peace and quiet of our historical neighborhoods."
