ELYRIA — Holly Brinda, a lifelong resident of Elyria and Elyria Schools board member, formally announced her bid for mayor today.
Brinda, 52, will seek the Democratic nomination and will face Mayor Bill Grace in the May primary.
“I made the decision to run for Mayor, because I cannot just sit back and watch what is happening in our community,” Brinda said. “Despite Elyria’s many strengths, our city is de-clining. Not because we don’t care, but because we don’t trust. We have experienced wasteful spending and the Grace administration’s misguided priorities, placing aesthetics over basic city services and business development.”
Brinda is kicking off her campaign with a plan for reform – The Putting Elyrians First: The Brinda Reform Plan to Make Elyria City Government Work.
