I'm Bob Brennan, candidate for Boone County Commissioner, District 1.

As a husband, father of two, 30-year resident, teacher and coach, I am deeply committed to my family and this community.

I'm running to provide transparent leadership through our county's rapid growth. I'm ready to tackle our energy, water, and infrastructure challenges. I would appreciate your support.

My Plan

Special Emphasis

I will defend residents' fundamental property rights and ensure sustainable management of our vital water resources. This includes advocating for policies that prevent unregulated high-volume water extraction by external corporations, safeguarding private well owners, and ensuring all land-use decisions respect individual property boundaries and existing legal rights.

Transparent Use of Taxpayer Dollars

I will bring full transparency to county contracts, bids, and spending to ensure every dollar is used responsibly.

Safe and Accessible Elections

I will ensure fair elections with accessible polling places and well-maintained voting equipment.

Environmental & Public Health Protections

I will enforce standards for wells, plumbing, solid waste, and animal care to keep our county healthy and clean.

Strong Roads & Infrastructure

I will prioritize repairing roads and bridges, improving signage, and planning long-term infrastructure that keeps up with Boone County’s growth.

Quality County Facilities & Public Safety

I will maintain county buildings—courthouse, jail, parks, and emergency services—and support strong fire, EMS, and public safety ordinances.

Economic Development That Works for Everyone

I will recruit businesses that provide good jobs and invest in our local workforce while protecting our community values.

Investing in Community Heritage & Quality of Life

I will support 4-H and the county fair, preserve historic cemeteries, and expand parks and recreation for families to enjoy.

Smart, Sustainable Growth

I will support development that protects our rural character, preserves farmland, and ensures responsible land use and zoning.

Support for Veterans, Seniors & Vulnerable Residents

I will strengthen services for veterans, promote mental health resources, and ensure support systems are accessible for those in need.

Strong Partnerships with Cities & Rural Townships

I will collaborate with local governments to improve roads, drainage, and shared services across all Boone County communities.
