Vision

Brooke Schmidt is excited about Canton’s forward momentum — excited about families staying in our city to celebrate special occasions, to enjoy concerts and outdoor events, to explore mixed-use developments. She emphasizes team spirit, communication, as well as down and dirty hard work. Community building and steady growth are priorities for Brooke, and she believes the best way to progress down that path is by residents knowing their representatives enough to comfortably have candid conversations with them. That is where Brooke excels. She is truly "of the people."


 
 
 

Endorsements

“My husband Kris and I have not only had the privilege of knowing Brooke Schmidt as a dear friend for 13 years, we have also enjoyed living in the neighborhood where she currently serves as activities director and HOA president for much of that time. Brooke’s loyalty, grit, and perseverance are obvious in all areas of her life as she leans in and is never afraid to do the hard work. Her motivation is always about what is best for the greater good. We have admired her as a friend, a mother, and a community leader throughout that time – and we look forward to seeing Brooke help move Canton forward as a member of City Council.

“We are so excited that Brooke Schmidt has decided to run for Canton City Council. Our family moved into River Green almost four years ago and we have watched Brooke tirelessly work to improve our neighborhood, schools, and community. You can often find her championing for the needs of others through fundraising or service. She is a wonderful listener and is full of energy! We are thrilled to see a female with school-aged children step into a leadership role in our great city. Brooke will fight for what is right in our Canton and be open to hearing various points of views with compassion and discernment.”

Throughout her tenure, she has worked tirelessly, with the board, to resolve difficult issues for the good of our community and its residents. I am 100% certain she will bring the very same energy and dedication to the Canton City Council.”
