It is time for new leadership willing and ready to meet today's challenges with forward-thinking solutions.
Let's build a campaign that bridges the past, present, and future of Allston-Brighton.
Born into a pastor's family, the values of community service and social justice were instilled in Brandon from a young age. He has been a lifelong advocate for social change, which he believes begins at the local level.
Due to demands of the church, Brandon and his family moved to many cities and towns across the US, including Flint, Michigan. Brandon moved to Allston-Brighton in 2009 after graduating from Central Michigan University.
An educator who has worked in Allston-Brighton for the past seven years, Brandon has spent two years working at the Jackson-Mann K8 and is now in his fifth year at the Thomas A. Edison K8. He has used his time as a teacher making meaningful connections with hundreds of students and families throughout Allston, Brighton, and other Boston communities. These relationships are what has inspired him to work for all members of his community.
During Brandon's time in Allston-Brighton, he has spent extensive time meeting and building relationships with many artists who call our neighborhood home. He understands that creating art is a passion for many and has seen first hand the balancing act of trying to make ends meet. He supports local musicians, helps organize gallery showings, and advocates for the creative community: an integral part of the district's identity.
Brandon believes that diversity is our strength, and wants to preserve and grow the multicultural community we all love. He is prepared to bring the concerns of Allston-Brighton to Boston's City Council to ensure that it is the neighbors who develop the neighborhood.
In his spare time, Brandon is an avid cyclist who loves to ride in the city he loves. He intends to advocate for safe and reliable transportation for all.
We need equitable workforce housing—homes that are affordable for everyone. We must develop sustainable, community-centered solutions that preserve neighborhood character while meeting the housing needs of teachers, service workers, and lifelong residents.
The artist community is the soul of Allston-Brighton. Brandon has seen firsthand the struggle artists face trying to make ends meet while pursuing their passion. We must create sustainable conditions for artists to thrive.
Multi-modal transit solutions that fit every budget and lifestyle. From safe cycling infrastructure to improved bus service and pedestrian safety, we must build transportation that works for everyone.
As an educator, Brandon stands with students, teachers, and Boston Public Schools. We must ensure that every student has access to a quality education and the resources they need to succeed.
Brandon will work with renters and homeowners, service workers and tradespeople, lifelong residents and students, artists and business owners—everyone who wants to be part of building our community.
Real change begins with real leadership rooted in community. Brandon isn't just a politician—he's your neighbor, educator, and fellow community member committed to building the future Allston-Brighton deserves.
Brandon can't do this alone. We need to work together to build a bright future for Allston-Brighton.
Volunteer, attend events, and help build the future of our neighborhood
