Maureen Copelof
"I'm Maureen Copelof, and I’m running for re-election as Mayor of Brevard. With 30 years of military service and eight years on City Council and as Mayor, I’ve worked to make Brevard safer, stronger, and more connected. Together, we’ve delivered fast disaster response, launched affordable housing projects, secured tens of millions in grant funding for infrastructure and the Ecusta Trail, and improved quality of life through community spaces and transparent government. My focus moving forward is simple: expand affordable housing, strengthen local businesses, and ensure Brevard remains a safe, family-friendly community where everyone can thrive."
