Staff compilation

Published: October 23, 2009

Editor's note: Mr. Brown did not respond to our questionnaire. Below is his biography from the City of Concord Web site.

Alfred M. Brown Jr., elected to the City Council in 2001, is a lifelong resident of Concord. Al is a graduate of Concord High School and attended The Citadel. He is employed in the OSP Engineering Department with Windstream, formerly CT Communications, and is married to the former Sheila Penninger, a first grade teacher at Rocky River Elementary. They have two children, Adam and Emily. He is a lifelong, active member of St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church and previously served on the Concord Bicentennial Commission and the Concord Historic Preservation Commission. Presently he serves as an alternate delegate to the local Transportation Advisory Committee and is a member of the Concord-Kannapolis Transit System Authority (RIDER) that began in April 2004. "I believe that our citizens expect and deserve a good quality of life and a safe community to live in. Good streets and roads, low taxes and increasing our tax base, investing in existing neighborhoods as well as preparing for new ones, strong law enforcement and fire and life safety, enhancing our downtown district, and working to maintain a sufficient water supply are but a number of issues that we regularly deal with. It is my pleasure to serve the citizens of Concord."
