Brett Hodges “Why I’m Running”

August 17, 2025

Brett Hodges has walked the talk when it comes to being of service in our community, and it is what motivates him to run for a seat on the Township Committee. As his two adult daughters made their way through the township’s public schools, Brett co-managed everything from Destination Imagination teams to Ridge Forensic competitions. He also served as co-President of the Ridge Marching Band Parents’ Association (IYKYK!). Currently he serves as the Lay Leader at Bishop Janes United Methodist Church and on God’s Co-op Pantry’s Board of Directors. Previously, he was Treasurer and co-manager of the Evergreen Cemetery.
