Why Kelly — and Why Now

---

Big decisions are ahead — about infrastructure, housing, affordability, and how we grow. When the stakes are this high, how we govern matters just as much as what we decide.

Kelly Brunette is a steady, trusted leader who believes local government works best when it listens first, plans carefully, and earns public trust.

She brings a rare combination of experience, perspective, and temperament:

• A Village Trustee who asks hard questions and respects the process
• A mom raising her family here, deeply invested in Saranac Lake’s long-term future
• A clear communicator who shows up, listens, and explains decisions in plain language
• A fiscal realist who knows big ideas must be matched with real dollars
• A community builder

Saranac Lake doesn’t need quiet decisions made by a select few.
It needs leadership that brings people in — not shuts them out.

Where recent leadership has too often felt rushed and top-down, Kelly offers something different: bottom-up leadership that listens first, plans carefully, and always puts Saranac Lakers at the center.
