Hello, my name is Brantley Mitchell and I’m humbly asking for your support and vote for Alderman in Ward 4 on April 6th, 2021. I would love to say I grew up in Brandon and I have been here my entire life, but that’s not the case. I grew up in Pearl and graduated high school there (please don’t hold that against me). After high school, I moved away from Pearl and Rankin County four different times
and have found my way back to this little piece of God’s country that we call Brandon, MS. I have lived in Brandon for several years, and this is where I now call home. I have a beautiful wife who is truly my best friend, and 2 wonderful kids. My wife Lindsay, stepdaughter Elizabeth, and son Brantley Gray are all in this with me, to make Brandon a better place for every citizen, not just those in Ward 4. Without God and my family, I would have never taken the stand that I have now, and that’s changing Brandon into the city we know we can and should be. We all talk about it, but we don’t need to just talk about it and live with it- we need to stand together against the negative. That’s what drives me, and will continue to drive me, to do what’s right for Brandon and its citizens. You might ask about my qualifications and if I can do the job of an Alderman. I would say ‘’YES,’’ and I will accept the challenge to move Brandon in a positive, debt-free direction. I have worked for the city transportation department in Mountain Village, Colorado; I have worked stock and sales for a little company named Victoria's Secret; I have been part owner in a plumbing company based right here in Brandon; now I’m a district manager for a Fortune 500 Company. There is no situation that is too big or too tough that my past experiences haven’t given me the ability to deal with. Dealing with tourists in a ski town during the winter with fresh powder on the ground, women and men in a holiday crunch with lingerie concerns, homeowners with sewer and water issues (boy does the city need help in this department), and handling a $20-million sales and operation budget is a great start for some qualifications. With all the social media posts about changing Brandon to be a better city, “not borrowing our way out of debt,” taking a different stand on the amphitheater, fixing the infrastructure, making our city a safer place to live, and being transparent with open communication is why I’m asking for your support in the election of Alderman in Ward 4 on April 6th, 2021. Together we can do this!
