BRENDA GOSS ANDREWS Age: 57 Current Occupation: Retired Detroit Police Deputy Chief; currently licensed Michigan Realtor Education: Howard University, Washington, D.C., Bachelor of Business Administration, minor Economics; Michigan State Univ. E. Lansing, MI, Masters of Science in Criminology; FBI Academy, Quantico, VA; NOrthwestern School of Staff &Command Felony Convictions: None Campaign Website: www.bgossandrews4citycouncil.com Campaign Contact Number: 313‐310‐5194 Why are you running for Detroit City Council? 1 I am running for City Council because I am discouraged by the failed leadership; unprofessional antics; an atmosphere that has been devoid of civility; and the specter of corruption that has swirled around city hall. I am running because the citizens of the city of Detroit deserve better. I am a leader with vision, focus, and fresh ideas. I have a proven track record of accomplishment and have developed and implemented real cost saving and cost cutting strategies. I am results and action oriented. I pledge to serve the people and preserve the people's assets. I will serve as an elected official with distinction, integrity and class. What are your top 3 priorities for Detroit? * 1) Restoring citizen confidence in city government. As an elected official I would carry myself in a professional and dignified manner in dealing with my colleagues, employees, and citizens.It is essential that our city government and leaders are no longer viewed in a negative fashion not only in the city but throughout the nation and world. 2) Fiscal/budget accountability. It is critical that the city of Detroit return to solvency. The current budget crisis has occurred as a result of a broken system of governance and years of inadequate safeguards, lack of appropriate oversight,in many areas including contracts, wasteful spending, malfeasance in government, and a pay to play culture. 3. Neighborhood Stability. the city must provide a clean and safe environment for its' citizens. Public safety is of paramount importance. There must be an adequate number of police and fire fighters to respond to calls of distress and danger. I wil seek and reach out to the state, to Washington, or private foundations in order to supplement the budget for public safety. Quality of life issues must be addressed, such as lighting, trash pick up, and an aggressive initiative to demolish eyesore dangerous dwellings in our neighborhoods. This information was collected in phone interviews or submitted directly by candidates or official designees. Interviews were conducted by Publius.org, Citizens for Accountable Council and The Detroit League of Women Voters. There was no fee to participate.

Please distribute widely. What have been your 2 greatest contributions to the public good? * I was the founder of the "Cops & Tots" reading program. This was a reading program whereby uniformed officers including myself went into elementary schools and read to children.The goal of the program was to encourage children to read at a young age. This was a very successful program that was highlighted on "Good Morning America". I also received a Council resolution and Spirit of Detroit award for this program. I was able to obtain free coupon vouchers from a major food restaurant that schools were able to distribute to children that read a certain number of books. this program also required parent/guardian participation. I was also featured in major area newspapers commending this program. I have volunteered for over 25 years to various community organizations and groups. However, one of my greatest contributions has been my son. As a divorcee I raised my son since he was a year old as a single mother, while working a stressful and demanding job and returning to school to obtain my masters degree. I am especially proud that he has graduated from college and has become an outstanding, honest man with ntegrity. What is the unique characteristic that makes you stand out among the 167 candidates running for City Council? The unique characteristic that makes me stand out among the 167 candidates is the fact that I am the only candidate that has actually controlled, prepared, and managed a city of Detroit annual operating budget including a proposed capital budget. Each budget year I had to go before city council along with the Chief of Police to present the department's budget. I also was the point person that reviewed and responded in written form to all of council's questions or concerns regarding the police department budget. Additionally, I have experience in directing, managing and budgeting a major multi‐million dollar new construction project; which is the Southwest Public Safety Center that includes police, fire and municipal parking departments. I managed all aspects of this project from demolition to actual construction. This is a project that had been waylaid for almost two decades; however, I was able to finally bring this project to fruition for the public to use and enjoy. My name is inscribed on the dedication plaque at the entrance of the building. I have also attended the prestigious FBI Academy in Quantico, VA where each year only 250 law enforcement officers are selected to attend world‐wide.To attend you must undergo vigorous physical tests and an intensive FBI background check. I have over 25 years of community volunteer service; serving on mental health, drug treatment, offender training, law enforcement, neighborhood opportunity fund boards to name a few.I am a licensed Michigan Realtor and chairperson of the 12th Precinct Neighborhood Coalition Vacant Hoouse Task Force, which comprises 11 communities.This task force tackles complex issues regarding the safety and maintenance of foreclosed and vacant properties that have become an eyesore in our communities. I have the education, experience, proven track record of accomplishments that set me apart and make me uniquely qualified to be elected to Detroit City Council.

  • CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020
    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF AUGUST 3, 2020 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results RECORD-SETTING PRIMARY ELECTIONS A record number of voters participated in Michigan’s primary election on Aug. 4, with more than 2.5 million people casting a vote either in person or by absentee ballot. One of the most followed races in the primary was the 13th Congressional District rematch between U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit) and Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Jones represented the district for a few weeks in 2018, following the resignation of Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit) in December 2017. After his resignation, there were two elections for the seat with Jones winning the special election to complete Conyers unexpired term, and Tlaib winning the regular race for the Congressional seat. This year, Tlaib and Jones were the only primary candidates. On Tuesday, Tlaib won the strongly Democratic district with nearly twice as many votes as Jones, potentially guaranteeing her a second term. In the 3rd Congressional District in West Michigan, Republican Peter Meijer, a U.S. Army veteran whose family founded the well-known Meijer retail chain, won a five-way contest with more than 50 percent of the vote, including holding a strong lead over his main opponent Rep. Lynn Afendoulis. Meijer will face Democratic attorney Hillary Scholten. The winner of that race will succeed U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, a former Republican turned Libertarian who is not seeking reelection. In the 10th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold in the Thumb region, Republican businesswoman Lisa McClain of Bruce Township, a pro-Trump Republican who outspent her opponents, beat state Rep.
