Brady Statement
Brady, a Republican who has served on the Council representing Ward 4 since 2018, said the following.
As we continue navigating through this difficult pandemic, I am grateful as a both a resident and public servant of the City of Cranston. As a community, we have propelled the City of Cranston forward through hard work, communication, kindness, and conversation, during some of the most troublesome times in American history. I am truly appreciative for the opportunity to learn and grow throughout my experience over the last four years on the Cranston City Council.
If we learned anything throughout this pandemic, it is that time is our greatest currency and we need to continue to actively pursue our dreams, embracing each and every day, while helping and supporting others. Today, I am stepping down from the Cranston City Council, as my family embarks on an exciting new chapter. We look forward to continuing to serve the Cranston community by working with some amazing local non-profits that are dear to our hearts, while also pursuing some passionate and purposeful opportunities throughout the great state of Rhode Island.
I would like to sincerely thank my family, our friends, Mayor Ken Hopkins, and all of my former and present colleagues, for the time and energy we spent together while serving. Most importantly, I would like to thank the kind and generous people throughout the great City of Cranston for your friendship, support, and trust. Although I am leaving public office, I will remain a proud and active Cranstonian, as I truly believe Cranston is the Center of the Universe.
