2012 ENDORSEMENTS

Brennan rises to the top of the challenger pool. She is smart, well-researched and knowledgeable on district issues and brings a unique perspective as a young resident of Moss Beach.
— San Mateo Daily Journal
Brennan is quick with new ideas…her fiscal conservatism is refreshing from someone so focused on environmental stewardship.
