Smart Voter Official Statement for Carissa Pillow

Candidate for
Council Member; City of Brentwood

This is a copy of information submitted to elections officials by the candidate

My name is: Carissa Pillow

My age is: 38

My occupation is: Critical Care Registered Nurse

Education and Qualifications:

Brentwood has changed over the last four years. We have watched many of our shops close their doors. We have felt the harsh impact of lowered home values, foreclosures, and underemployment. In spite of these hardships, I see opportunity on Brentwood's horizon! I have confidence in the people who energize our city with industry and commerce. I believe in our neighbors who desire to improve and protect our way of life. And I have faith in our youth, who will propel Brentwood forward with technology and innovation in the upcoming years.

As a city with small town values, coming together to solve problems is ingrained in our community culture. Together, we must ensure that Brentwood rebounds quickly from the recession. We must attract high paying employers, keep Brentwood safe, create activities for our teens and adults, and promote Brentwood's businesses with a "buy local, eat local" campaign.

Brentwood deserves a fresh perspective! As a wife, a mother, and a Critical Care Nurse; I have always cared for my community. As your councilmember, I will continue to care. I will listen closely to your concerns, research arising issues, and work diligently to find solutions. Together, we will guarantee Brentwood's future prosperity!
