DARREN WEEKLY

DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF
I am honored to write this letter in support of Brandi Wilks for re-election to the Parker Town Council.
I, Lana Paggen, have known Brandi since childhood, and over the years I have had the privilege of watching her become not only a dedicated community leader, but a deeply invested member of the Parker community. Parker is her home. She has raised her children here, continues to raise her family here, owns a small business here, and genuinely cares about the people and businesses that make this community what it is.
Brandi has consistently shown tremendous support for our local community, especially small business owners. She is accessible, present, and willing to help when called upon. I honestly cannot remember attending a community event where Brandi wasn’t there, whether it was a Town meeting, grand opening, special event, or simply showing up to support the people of Parker.
In 2025, when Venalonzo’s Tacos experienced the terrifying loss of being robbed at gunpoint, Brandi was one of the very first people to reach out and check on our family business, alongside Mayor Josh Rivero. That moment meant more to us than she probably realizes. It demonstrated the kind of leader and neighbor she truly is.
Brandi doesn’t just represent Parker, she is Parker. She is invested, engaged, compassionate, and committed to the community she calls home.
On behalf of myself, Lana Paggen, and the entire Venalonzo’s Tacos Familia, I am proud to endorse Brandi Wilks for re-election to Parker Town Council.
With sincere respect,

LANA PAGGEN

PARKER SMALL BUSINESS OWNER – PETIT PARKER

Hi! I own Beautiful Art Picture Framing & Art Gallery here in Downtown Parker, Colorado. I have run my business in Downtown Parker now for 9 years. I started my business out of my home in March of 2000 right here in Parker.   Over the years I have seen Parker grow! I know some of you would say Parker is growing too much & some would say it’s a growth that needs to happen. As your downtown business owner I would say it needs to happen. We either grow or get left behind as an awesome town! Why am I saying this? Because we need a town council member that has seen the growth and knows how to control the growth that the Town of Parker deserves! Brandi Wilks is our Town Council Member who has seen ALL the growth as she is a Parker Native! I would say 100% Vote for Brandi! She has skin in the game to make Parker a great place to live, shop & visit!
