Brandy is a phenomenal trainer, political healer, and organizer and I am also blessed to call her a mentor and friend. I’ve know her for over 4 years now, and I’ve seen how much she’s done to transform politics in Maryland. I’ve also seen her influence spread in the other people she has trained and supported across our national organizer network. She has a clear vision of redefining what movement politics is, and in the process building not only her own power, but the power of the people around her. That is why I am so excited about her candidacy — not just because of the great things she’ll do for Montgomery County, but because of the great leaders she will develop and bring with her along the way.

They are demonstrating how we make transformative change around climate and the environment, housing, education, political engagement, and racial equity.

This dynamic list of leaders illustrates the kind of movement we are building: powerful and effective, rooted in community leadership, and consistently creating the solutions we need for the challenges and opportunities we face.

Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright

At a time when we focus too much on top-down processes, we need leaders and Black woman magic that understands transformational change is a bottom up process. Brandy embodies what it means to be the spiritual property of, by, and for the people. I have no doubts that she will be a paragon of public service, and all of her decisions will be informed and driven by the grassroots. We need less politicians and more organizers in office, Brandy will adroitly adhere to and embody this ethos.

Hamza Sarwar Khan

Kush Kharod

Hub Coordinator, Sunrise Movement DC

Germantown, MD

I grew up in Germantown, right in the heart of Montgomery County. The people of MOCO are kind, hard working, and good people. However, for decades, it has gotten harder and harder for family and friends to excel with the obstacles in our way, especially from the disastrous acts of our government. Brandy recognizes these obstacles and wants to break them down. She supports progressive and much-needed policies, from housing to the environment, and so many more. I support Brandy because she has been part of the struggle. She is an educator, an organizer, and has dedicated her life for a better future, understanding that power does not come from the top, but from us. It’s time for Montgomery County residents to get an elected official who cares for us, hears us, understands our needs, and is not scared to fight for us. For me, that’s Brandy.

Sergio Cea

Electoral Organizer, Reclaim Philadelphia

I’m supporting Brandy Brooks because I know what disinvestment in black and brown communities looks like in Montgomery County.

Shuo (Jim) Huang

Public Member, Montogmery County Racial Equity and Social Justice Advisory Committee

Silver Spring, MD

I am so excited to support Brandy for Montgomery County Council because she has the approach, experience, and ideas we need to build a county where we can all thrive! To Brandy, a racially equitable government by definition is one that empowers the work, knowledge, and ideas we generate through our communities, and not one that just tries to manage our expectations. Seriously, read her statement about examples of how the county’s planning process should operate, then judge for yourself how rooting the county’s processes in what our communities wanted would have given residents healthier, more connected, and safer neighborhoods, and actually helped keep viable the real locally owned small businesses that make our neighborhoods so vivacious.

Simran Noor

Principal, NOOR Consulting

Brandy is awesome. The people’s candidate. She has the most impacted folks in heart and is strategic and holistic in her approach. I believe in Brandy’s vision and think she is the best candidate for the job!

Sriram Madhusoodanan

Missoula, MT

Across the country we are seeing a rising tide of powerful and fresh new voices run and win critical races for elected office. Members of Congress like Representatives Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley and many more in state and local races across the country. These new leaders reflect the rich diversity and experience of our communities and our country today. People who don’t just talk about issues like housing affordability, racial and environmental injustice, healthcare and education like they read about them in a book, but from a place of intimidate knowledge and lived experience. People who are committed and hopeful in fighting for a vision of a better world, a better society. And people who are willing to roll up their sleeves, stand their ground and fight back against the powerful monied interests and “good ole boys” who have held power for too long in this country. A brilliant organizer and dedicated community leader, Brandy is exactly the kind of new and visionary leader we need to see to in the so-called “rooms where it happens”. She has shown her commitments to the issues of her policy platform not simply with words, but with her actions. And she is exactly who we need in office to help fight for people and address the big challenges of our moment.
