Our community helped raise and educate me. As a daughter, wife and mother, my life experiences have shown me how special our community is and why we need to protect it. From my youth agency days, I learned to think cost effectively with a budget. As a child birth educator, I saw first hand how fragile life can be and the impacts of quality medical services on families. I ask for your vote on November the 3rd. Together we can see a rebirth of Bradenton, as we work together to promote economic development while maintaining our small town quality of life.\" Marianne Barnebey
