Lee Brand's biography
I weighed my desire to try to serve the city and make a difference with the sacrifices to my family and business by doing so. I have lived in Fresno for over 50 years and I have seen a small town of 50,000 grow into a major metropolitan city of nearly 500,000. The challenges of running a city of nearly a half million people will require that our best and brightest come forward to serve as elected officials. I sincerely believe that we can do better.
City hall leadership has been fragmented to with no clearly developed goals and the plans to achieve those goals. My top three priorities would be effective delivery of city services; economic development including downtown revitalization, and consolidation of law enforcement. My goals can be achieved by staying focused on these issues for my entire term and building a consensus with other council members
