Alderman Rick Owen
District 2
"Steve's past record gives me the utmost confidence that Brookfield's future development will remain focused on the preservation of our single family neighborhoods. In contrast his opponent calls for zoning changes to permit higher density, reduced setbacks and greater building heights for "affordable" housing; and smaller lot sizes and accessory dwelling units for our subdivisions. Steve's more thoughtful approach to development assures that Brookfield remains a premier "Community of Choice"!"
