common solutions. One Example of this passion was the creation of The Human Capital Experiment which aids businesses in tapping into local resources and networks not readily available through workshops, training sessions, and mentoring/peer groups. A true success story from the 2019 season landed one small local Girard based machining company a $750,000.00 contract from one lunch meeting.

Brenton has earned his way through education and busting his knuckles in the blue collar trades. His motto is "White collar educated and blue collar by choice". He comes from a family of proud tradesmen and believes through hard work and strong planning -all things are possible. His deep ties to the local Construction Industry have given him a unique perspective to steer Erie County into a new and prosperous era in which Government will assist businesses to thrive as opposed to getting in the way! Brenton believes there is a different way to aid those who wish to obtain an education, learn a trade, and simultaneously boost our local economy through focusing on small business development, aiding small business creation, and attracting new business opportunities and investments. This can be obtained through revolving scholarship funds and very low student loan refinance programs which relieve the interest burden of student loan debt, mitigate population loss from "brain drain" (Our young adults relocating due to lack of opportunities available). These are also incentives for local employers which cost them nothing directly. It's time Erie County dares to be a trailblazer, take reasonable risks, and show the world we are a place where dreams can become a reality, property taxes and crime are low, and Lake Erie sunsets rival any other around the globe. Its time we have a County Government which works for us- Not against us!! Each of us knows all too well the struggles each hard working family has felt during COVID 19 restrictions. Brenton believes not only was Erie County mishandled, businesses are still being strangled in regulations, adults being treated like children by our own Government, and those in power have made rules for the masses which they did not follow themselves!
