Brenda Lee, Candidate For Galveston City Council, District 2


As of March 30, Brenda Donaloio and I will have been married for 6 months. As we celebrate our anniversary quarterly, it will be our second.

Apparently bored with this wedded bliss thing, Brenda announced last week that she will run for City Council in District 2, replacing former Councilman Marc Hoskins, who lost his appeal to be reinstated after his ouster.

After a decade of community service as president of the San Jacinto Neighborhood Association and the Galveston Alliance of Island Neighborhoods, plus her volunteer work with a number of organizations here, Brenda is uniquely qualified. Frankly, as an outsider, she's done more for this City than most elected officials and she knows how to build beautiful neighborhoods, one family at a time. After all, Cities are nothing more than a collection of neighborhoods under the umbrella of what we affectionately refer to as "government". If she can bring the same success to the City Council that she has to the San Jacinto Neighborhood, Schools, Playgrounds, the Seawall and so many other worthy projects that benefit people, not politicians, she will not only serve all three terms, she will be an excellent candidate for Mayor. I can certainly attest to the time she has given to these various endeavors, because I've had to give up a lot of time with her as a result. This is a great thing for this little town, not only because of her background, but also because of her impeccable ethics, honesty, intelligence and common sense approach to complex objectives. Yes, those are unique and, well, RARE qualities in government... I'm so convinced she's superior, I plan to vote twice, an honored Galveston tradition!

Brenda will be visiting residents in District 2, attending events and busily campaigning until the special election is Saturday, May 12. She refuses to vote twice, so I am coaching her on flexibility.
