Montrell Besley District 11

Seventeen votes.


That’s all that stood between our community and real change.


I didn’t lose because people didn’t care — I lost because not enough of us were able to come together in time. And that’s exactly why this moment matters more than ever.


Right now, a supermajority on the County Commission continues to make decisions without accountability, without transparency, and without centering everyday people. When one side controls everything, our voices get ignored — especially when we’re calling for smarter investments, education reform, and stronger community engagement.


I’m running because I believe education empowers people, informed communities create opportunity, and local government should work for all of us, not just a few insiders. But I can’t do this alone.


This campaign is about neighbors standing up for neighbors. It’s about showing that grassroots power can overcome big money and entrenched politics. And it’s about making sure that no election is decided by just 17 votes ever again.


Your contribution today helps us organize earlier, reach more voters, and build the coalition we need to finally break the supermajority and bring balance back to the County Commission.


If you’ve ever thought, “My voice should matter more,” this is your moment to prove it.

Chip in. Stand with us. Let’s finish what we started — together.
