Thank god there is an alternative to Susannah Meyer. She has done next to nothing for the past 4 years except follow Jovita Mendoza. She can’t think for herself. She cant even have a fundraiser event without Jovita by her side. Brentwood has gone downhill and turning into Antioch under this council. Time for new people.

I wish he would say more about what his platform is and where he stands on Bridle Gate. Had high hopes for Susannah Meyer but she has been a giant disappointment. She is tried to Jovita Mendoza who has ruined Brentwood. Can’t support Meyer at this point.
