MEET BRANDON POLANCO

I believe public service begins with listening. 

Since making Ashland my home, I’ve fallen in love with the creativity, compassion, natural beauty, and unmistakable sense of community that make this city so special.

As a filmmaker, producer, small-business professional, and community advocate, I’ve spent my career bringing people together around ideas and turning ambitious visions into reality. My work in Ashland has deepened my belief that strong communities are built when people feel heard, local businesses have the opportunity to thrive, families can afford to live where they work, and local government serves its community with transparency and accountability.

I’m running for Ashland City Council because I believe our city deserves thoughtful, energetic leadership that honors what we love about Ashland while preparing us for the future. This campaign is about bringing new ideas to the table, listening to our neighbors, and working together to build an Ashland where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

This is our home. Let’s build its future together.
