“Whether it is having a voice, whether it’s voting, whether it’s running, whether it’s working in the city government, [you] belong there.”

A SAFE BET FOR THE FUTURE

Brenna Betts is an educator, community recreation enthusiast, and longtime advocate for equity and accessibility in local government. With deep ties to the city through education and public service, she is committed to creating a more accessible, just, and opportunity-rich Starkville for all.

Her campaign represents an opportunity for progressive leadership in a region that has long been resistant to change. She believes that good governance starts with transparency, community engagement, and policies that work for all residents – not just those with the loudest voices. Her platform prioritizes public investment in transportation, housing, and education, recognizing that economic mobility and social equity are deeply intertwined.

With no ties to political machines or special interests, Brenna strives to embody the kind of leadership that puts people first. She understands that building a stronger, more progressive South requires grassroots efforts, local investment, and a commitment to uplifting communities that have historically been overlooked. Her campaign is by the working class, in the interest of the working class.

Support for her campaign is about more than just an interest in municipal government – its investment in a movement for change in Starkville. Brenna is ready to prove that progress isn’t just possible – it’s already happening.
