Vote Brenda Cecil For Ward 2 Butler City Council

Brenda Cecil is asking for your vote for Ward 2 Butler City Council on April 7th! 

A little background on Brenda… Being a graduate of Missouri Southern University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice, I was afforded the opportunity to work for the State of Missouri at the Rich Hill Youth Development Center for 17 years. 

While working at the Center, I led a group of 12 teenage boys and a professional staff team of 10 youth specialists. Other experiences include teaching, counseling, fire service, emergency management, running my own business, and various other service industry jobs. I have learned a lot about myself and others from each of these experiences and have become proficient at most everything I have put my hand to. 

I don't quit. Through all of my experiences, I have developed a strong inclination toward helping people as well as the skills for leadership and decision making. These are the skills and experiences that I will bring with me as a member of your City Council. Have a great day! - Courtesy of Brenda Cecil
