Good evening, friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens of Charles County.​  My name is Brenda Thomas, and I am honored to let you know I am a candidate for County Commissioner.  I’m not a career politician—I was an Office Manager and retiree, a lifelong resident of this county, and someone who believes deeply in the power of local government to change lives.  ​I am running to make a change.​ I’m running for County Commissioner because I believe we deserve a person with integrity and leadership that listens, leadership that acts, and leadership that gets results. Our county is full of hardworking people who want safe communities, better roads, access to quality healthcare, and economic opportunities that don’t require leaving home to find them.  We need a county government that reflects our values and respects our voices. I’m not here to play politics—I’m here to serve.  ​I have background knowledge of accounting, Criminal Law, contracts, I've spent the last year getting contracts, providing assistance and solve problems and much more working in a doctor's office and being a School Board Member.  I’ve managed budgets, led teams, and brought people together to solve tough problems.  I know what it takes to listen carefully, make hard decisions, and always keep the people I serve at the center of those decisions.​​​​​

​​​

As you next County Commissioner, I will focus on three key area:

​

  1. Infrastructure and Public Services – We need safer roads, well-maintained public spaces, and reliable emergency services. I’ll fight for smart investments that meet today’s needs and prepare us for tomorrow.

  2. Economic Growth and Job Creation – I’ll work to attract new businesses, support local entrepreneurs, and build partnerships that create well-paying jobs right here at home.

  3. Transparency and Accountability – You deserve to know how your tax dollars are spent and to have a say in the decisions that affect your daily life. I’ll ensure county government is open, accessible, and accountable to you.

​

This election isn’t about me—it’s about us. It’s about building a county where our children can thrive, where our seniors are cared for, and where every citizen feels seen, heard, and valued.   So I’m asking for your support—not just at the ballot box, but in this campaign. Join me. Walk with me.  Let’s make our county stronger, here and now.

As your next County Commissioner, I am committed also to protecting our natural resources, promoting clean energy, and ensuring that future generations inherit a healthier, more sustainable community. I will:

​​

  • Promote solar and wind energy projects, invest in energy-efficient county buildings, and support clean public transportation solutions. 

  • ​Support Clean Energy & Energy Efficiency

  • Reduce Waste & Strengthen Recycling Programs
    Expand recycling access, encourage composting, and support local businesses that reduce plastic use.

Act on Climate Locally

  • Develop a county-wide climate resilience plan to address flooding, heatwaves, and other climate threats—with equity and science at the center of every decision.                                                                                                                                                                                       

Together, we can build a healthier, greener future—right here at home.
