Brenda Mennella stands firmly on the side of supporting our schools and ensuring that taxpayer money is used effectively. Unlike Frank Burns, who criticizes COLA adjustments without addressing their broader implications, Brenda focuses on practical solutions to help families, retirees, and schools thrive.
While it’s true that Social Security COLAs have been minimal, Brenda believes that addressing inflation’s impact on retirees and families is crucial, including rising Medicare and prescription costs. She supports efforts to ensure that financial relief from Social Security actually makes a difference, and advocates for policies that safeguard retirement income.
As an educator with over 20 years of experience, Brenda is deeply concerned about how school funds are spent. She understands that property taxes are a significant investment in education, but believes that the money must be directed toward sanctioned programs that benefit students directly. Brenda will work to ensure transparency in school budgeting and advocate for a responsible approach to spending, so that taxpayers know their dollars are being used to improve education, not for unnecessary or non-sanctioned programs.
Brenda’s commitment to retaining top talent is clear through her work in education and her emphasis on raising standards in our schools. She believes that only by maintaining high expectations can we attract and keep the best teachers and professionals in our community, ensuring that students receive the quality education they deserve.
With Brenda, voters can be confident that she will fight for efficient use of funds in our schools and a fair deal for retirees, making her the right choice to represent District 21
