Brad Scott City Council, City of Breezy Point 52 Wife Tricia, Daughter Sydney, Son Tyler Occupation.................. Administrative Resource Manager, MN Department of Transportation Contact........................... bradbscott@charter.net (612) 554-3989 Why are you running for public office? I believe in public service and putting others before myself. I find it an honor to serve those in the community which I live. What sets you apart as the best candidate? 25 years public management experience. Unique life experiences including 12 years in the military and a Persian Gulf War Veteran. Supporting relationships as a way to make taxpayer funded decisions. What are your priorities to support business and economic development? Working toward a plan with the City Council that among other things would go to reduce taxes. Consistently increasing taxes is a definite barrier to economic growth. Holding listening sessions to hear what the residents and business community see as needs would also be an important step. What changes, if any, would you make to existing laws or government operations? If elected, time would tell as to the need for making specific changes to laws/ ordinances. City Hall has to be a welcoming place for the community to come and be heard. I see a need for changing how the public as a whole is engaged and listened too. How would you engage local businesses as you weigh your decisions? I would favor establishing a business council to help advise the City Council as certain decisions are made that impact the local business community. Breezy Point has an existing wide range of business interests- they should be at the table to have a voice in guiding the community.
