Better Brockport
We are three long-time residents of this village, and like many of you, we’ve watched our once beautiful community decline. We are running for the Village Board because we care deeply about the place we call home. This is where we raise our families, work, build our lives, and form lasting connections.
We remember a better Brockport. One with a variety of thriving businesses, beautiful homes, well-maintained streets and sidewalks. Now Brockport looks like a place whose best days are over. Enough is enough. We’re running because we care and we’re ready to act.
Together, we bring different strengths but one common goal. We can make Brockport thrive now. Doing that will take different leadership. Leadership that focuses on our businesses and residents that are here for more than just an occasional day trip. A pedestrian bridge to nowhere, a private use boat house, a shiny visitor’s center does not help residents and businesses thrive. Not when the cost of those things are higher property taxes, failing sewer and water lines, crumbled sidewalks, and deteriorating buildings.
What needs to be done? We need to stop the year-after-year runaway tax increases. In fact, we need to roll village taxes back. We need to stop funding visitor amenities and start fixing the things that matter, such as sewer and water infrastructure, streets, and sidewalks. We need to enforce our property maintenance codes. We can do that by helping those who need help in complying. Also, by ensuring codes are enforced equally across the board. We need to effectively use future grant funds in pursuit of resident and business improvements, not in the pursuit of more tourist attractions.
You can help us do that by voting for Ben Reed for Mayor, Don Roberts and Wendy Dunham for Trustees. Ben is a life-long resident and successful Brockport business owner. His successful business skills will be an asset in leading to create a Better Brockport. Don Roberts has lived in Brockport for 50 years. He was a successful operations manager and performed many volunteer activities. His experiences will also make for a Better Brockport. Wendy Dunham has lived in Brockport for 20 years. She had a career as an occupational therapist, being a voice for and assisting those who weren’t always heard. Her experience in advocating for others will be a benefit for a Better Brockport. Please vote on June 17 for a Better Brockport.
Ben Reed, Candidate for Mayor
Wendy Dunham, Candidate for Trustee
Don Roberts, Candidate for Trustee
Brockport Proud
This Tuesday, June 17, voters in the Village of Brockport face a clear choice about the future of our community.
I’m proud to be running for Mayor alongside BoB LeSuer and Brittany Profit-Rheinwald as part of the Brockport Proud team. We bring a proven record of service, deep roots in the community, and a shared vision of a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-moving Brockport. We believe in building – not breaking down. In listening – not just hearing. In getting things done – not just talking about it.
Our action plan for the first 100 days – developed by listening to you, not written behind closed doors – addresses the issues we know matter: infrastructure, safety, financial transparency, civic engagement, and support for those in need. You can read the full plan at brockportproud.net/virtual-forum.
I believe leadership must be respectful, collaborative, and focused on real solutions. As Deputy Mayor, I’ve worked across Village departments and with County, State, and Federal partners to advocate for Brockport – whether that’s bringing the mobile DMV to our community or helping secure vital infrastructure funding. I know what it takes to collaborate with others, even when we don’t agree, and I’ll continue to bring that spirit to the Mayor’s office.
BoB LeSuer and Brittany Profit-Rheinwald are more than just candidates – they’re changemakers. BoB is a SUNY professor, nonprofit founder, and longtime volunteer who brings strategic thinking and a calming ability to build consensus, as he did when we worked together on the Police Reform Committee. Brittany is the founder and president of Brockport Community Connection. Her deep empathy, paired with strong organizational skills, has made a real difference for some of our most vulnerable neighbors.
Together, we are a team that listens, leads, and acts. We have different skills but one shared purpose: to serve the people of Brockport with integrity, vision, and heart.
This election is not just about who sits on the Village Board – it’s about the direction we take as a community. If we lose transparency, collaborative leadership, and momentum on the work already underway, it could take years to recover. That’s not a risk we can afford.
We are Brockport Proud, and we want you to be proud of Brockport as well.
Please vote on Tuesday, June 17: Annie Crane for Mayor, and BoB LeSuer and Brittany Profit-Rheinwald for Village Trustees.
Annie Crane, Candidate for Mayor
