Next week, Brentwood voters are going to have an opportunity to bring a fresh voice to the City Council. I view this as an important opportunity for Brentwood to take a step forward, by electing a representative who has proven his care and devotion to our town by coaching Little League, volunteering his time and money to beautify our downtown and most important, helping support and manage our local schools by serving as a school board member.

Steve Barr is one of us: a small business owner, a longtime taxpayer and a real advocate for Brentwood’ s small-business community. This is nothing new; Steve has been helping Brentwood since the early ’80s.

We share the same vision for Brentwood: making our city the best place to do business in East County. We need a councilmember who shares the same values as us, who will fight for our interests for the long term. Steve is that guy.
