Chuck Ellis sits down with Jennifer Navarro, a 10th-generation Brunswick native running for an at-large seat on the Brunswick Town Council, in her first interview. After about five years of attending council, committee and land-use meetings, she was encouraged by neighbors to run in a one-year special election.

A Marine Corps spouse, mom and homemaker, Jennifer talks about a two-way public forum so residents get answers, ending rubber-stamp votes, longtime residents being priced out, development and public notice, TIF districts, tax-exempt properties, and spending priorities.
