Progress with Purpose

Megan Martens for Brown County Supervisor - District 1

My lifelong involvement with social services helps me relate to our district residents' experiences and needs. I am a single mom who isn't afraid to try new things and finish the job. I own a private practice and work as a psychotherapist. I have been a longtime observer of local and national politics and believe the skills and intention used in therapy can be used effectively to achieve the mission of the Brown County Board: to promote the health, safety, welfare, and quality of life for its residents in a fiscally responsible way. I offer compassionate accountability to each person I work with and that is what I will bring to the board.
