One of the most rewarding times in my life was when I answered the call to step up as a city councilmember in Marfa, a small but vibrant community of Far West Texas. During my time in office, I helped secure additional funding to improve the Marfa Fire Department station, helped strengthen short-term rental ordinances to protect residents against predatory real estate practices, and helped guide the city’s budget to reflect the community’s needs; particularly, proudly advancing a bond to repave city streets. That experience reinforced my belief that good leadership is about listening, taking action, and delivering results.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked at the intersection of public health, safety, and technology. I spent 10 years leading disaster preparedness and mitigation campaigns at USC’s Southern California Earthquake Center. Today, as a brand strategist for Texas Instruments, I help showcase how semiconductors enable industries that touch all our lives, from healthcare to transportation and even space exploration.
Beyond my professional life, I volunteer for environmental and scientific causes, tend to my sprawling garden, and take care of my 11 chickens and dog, Wrangler.- I believe in a Fort Worth that puts families before special interests, neighborhoods before reckless development, and working people before political games.
- Fort Worth and all of Texas deserves a raise; it's time we strongly advocate for better paying jobs with great benefits. It's not enough to say Fort Worth should be a great place for business, it should be a great place to also work for a business. Let's raise the minimum wage to a livable wage.
- Roads, sidewalks and parks are the topmost concern to me, and I will continue to make Fort Worth more enjoyable, livable and safe through improvements to our basic infrastructure and disaster resilience plans.
Brenda Silva Bentley, former Presidio County Commissioner PCT 1 (2017 - 2025)
