Iām Running to Keep
McNab-Braeside Rural & Thriving
I believe in the strength of our community and the potential we have to thrive.
Iām Brandon.
Itās nice to meet you.
Iām proud to be a lifelong member of this community.
I grew up in White Lake with my parents, Shelley and Ralph, and my brother, Noah. Like many in McNab-Braeside, I was raised with a strong appreciation for rural life, hard work, and community.
I attended Arnprior District High School before continuing my education at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, where I earned an Advanced Diploma in Advertising and Marketing Communications Management. After graduating, I returned home because this is where I want to build my life.
Today, I live in Braeside with my wife, Faith. We share our home with our two cats and our dog, and weāre proud to call this community home.
Professionally, I spent several years working in private healthcare communications before starting my own business, Brand On Marketing, here in McNab-Braeside. Through my work, I help businesses and organizations grow by focusing on clear communication, smart strategy, and strong community connections.
At 30 years old, Iām committed to bringing a younger perspective to the council chamber, one thatās focused not just on today, but on the future of our township. I fish here, I hunt here, I garden here, and I golf here. McNab-Braeside isnāt just where I live, itās where I plan to raise my future family.
Iām running for council because I believe in this township and the people who call it home. I want to protect what makes McNab-Braeside special while helping it move forward in a way that benefits everyone.
My Priorities for McNab-Braeside
Supporting Farmers & Rural Life
Our agricultural community is the backbone of this township. Iāll advocate for policies that support farmers, hobbyists (bee-keepers, chicken owners), and rural landowners.
Smart, Responsible Growth
Growth should benefit residents not change who we are. I will support motions that improve our services and amenities and oppose those that risk turning McNab-Braeside into a bedroom community.
Clear Communication
You deserve to know what council is doing. I will recommend the creation of a communications position that would champion regular updates, transparency of council and township events, and become a community hub.
Supporting Local Business & Innovation
Strong local businesses create jobs and keep our township thriving. Iāll support entrepreneurs, tourism initiatives, and economic development that fits our community.
Respect for Your Tax Dollars
I will treat every dollar like itās my own, focused on value, efficiency, and accountability. I believe in saving, but also making sure you get your money's worth. Every decision should deliver real, measurable value to residents.
