<h2 style="text-align: left;">Dedicated Public Servant</h2><p>Brian A. McCoy is a dedicated public servant, transportation policy expert, and community advocate with more than a decade of experience in government operations, strategic planning, and public engagement. A proud graduate of Jackson State University, Brian earned a Bachelor of Science in History and a Master’s in Urban and Regional Planning. His commitment to public service is rooted in his upbringing in Jackson, Mississippi — a community rich in culture, resilience, and possibility, yet shaped by the lasting effects of chronic underinvestment.&nbsp; </p><span class="image image-framed image-right image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/49c03348-b821-44f9-a23a-4440daa90741/617ac8ef-8fdc-43a8-bfd0-b8fcf83bade2/617ac8ef-8fdc-43a8-bfd0-b8fcf83bade2.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1408%2C768&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"> “Growing up in a community that struggled with underinvestment taught me early what it means when the government fails to meet people’s needs.”</span></h5>

<h2>Get Involved</h2>

<h2>Advocate for the Community</h2><p>Throughout his professional path, Brian has worked to build systems that lift people up rather than leave them behind. He has championed workers’ rights and voting access with the ACLU of Mississippi, overseen federal transportation initiatives in Arizona, and directed statewide planning efforts at MnDOT. His leadership includes implementing and enhancing Minnesota’s transportation project selection framework, ensuring that transportation decisions are efficient, accountable, and aligned with legislative requirements. </p><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/49c03348-b821-44f9-a23a-4440daa90741/3dd2dc40-a7ab-44e6-b373-96f320fd3a21/3dd2dc40-a7ab-44e6-b373-96f320fd3a21.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1122%2C1402&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p>Today, Brian serves Washington County as a member of the Planning Advisory Commission and the Board of Adjustment &amp; Appeals, where he provides critical input on land use, housing, and development decisions. This work has deepened his understanding of the challenges facing families, workers, and neighborhoods across the county — from responsible growth and infrastructure needs to housing access and community development.</p><p>Brian is also deeply committed to service beyond his professional role. He is a devoted husband and father of two children, and remains actively involved in organizations that reflect his values of mentorship, leadership, and community advancement. His service includes involvement with 100 Black Men, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the MnDOT African American Employee Resource Group, and the Jackson State University Alumni Association, Twin Cities Chapter, which he co-founded.</p><p>Brian is running for Washington County Commissioner because he believes every resident deserves a county government that is transparent, responsive, and rooted in service. His campaign is about building a Washington County where residents feel seen, heard, and valued — and where county leadership works every day to strengthen families, support communities, and create opportunities for the future.</p><p></p>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Washington County is growing, and residents need transportation options that keep pace with that growth. Too many families, seniors, rural residents, workers, and people with disabilities still face limited access to reliable and affordable transit. Brian believes public transportation should connect people to jobs, schools, healthcare, and essential services while reducing commute burdens and strengthening regional mobility. His approach focuses on smarter planning, safer roads, expanded transit access, and stronger partnerships to build a transportation system that works for every community.</strong></span></p><h5>Action Priorities</h5><ul><li><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Use data-driven planning to improve county transit connections, bridges, roadways, and long-term infrastructure investments.</strong></span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Expand accessible transportation options for rural residents, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and working families.</strong></span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Collaborate with Metro Transit, MPOs, MnDOT, and regional partners to accelerate priority projects and secure funding.</strong></span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Support safer, more efficient, and more connected transportation options across Washington County.</strong></span></p></li></ul><h5>Community Impact</h5><p><strong>As Washington County’s population approaches an estimated 300,000 by 2030, the demand on roads, transit systems, and regional infrastructure will continue to grow. Current commuting patterns and high rates of single-occupancy vehicle use indicate the need for safer, more reliable, and more multimodal transportation options that meet residents where they are.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Reliable transportation is essential </strong>for safety, access to jobs, and a strong local economy. </p>

<h2>Traffic &amp; Transportation </h2>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Washington County’s economy is strong, but too many residents still face barriers to accessing the training, skills, and career pathways needed for today’s workforce. As local employers seek skilled workers in transportation, trades, technology, and public service, the county must do more to connect youth, veterans, and underrepresented communities to real opportunities. Brian believes workforce development should be proactive, inclusive, and built around partnerships that help residents secure family-sustaining careers while supporting the businesses that power Washington County’s future.</strong></span></p><h5>Action Priorities</h5><ul><li><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Expand workforce programs for youth, veterans, and underrepresented communities.</strong></span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Strengthen partnerships with businesses, unions, schools, and workforce organizations to create job training and career pathways.</strong></span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Support county employees with professional development, advancement opportunities, and strong workplace standards.</strong></span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Help connect residents to high-demand careers in transportation, skilled trades, technology, and public service.</strong></span></p></li></ul><h5>Community Impact</h5><p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Washington County has more than 6,500 employers and one of the highest labor force participation rates in Minnesota. Even with a median household income above $110,000, local employers still need skilled workers in key industries. Brian’s plan focuses on connecting residents to opportunity, supporting local businesses, and building a stronger workforce for Washington County’s future.</strong></span></p>

<p><strong>Every resident deserves access to good jobs</strong> and real economic opportunity. That starts with strong workforce development for youth, veterans, and underrepresented communities, along with training and clear career pathways for county employees.</p>

<h2>Workforce Development </h2>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Residents deserve a county government that is easy to reach, responsive to concerns, and clear about how decisions are made. While the county reports strong resident satisfaction with service delivery, continued population growth is increasing demand for timely support, better communication, and stronger interdepartmental coordination.</strong></span></p><h5>Action Priorities</h5><ul><li><p><strong>Strengthen direct access to county leadership through town halls, listening sessions, office hours, and community partnerships.</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Improve response times and coordination across county departments so residents receive clear and timely support.</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Expand communication tools that help residents track requests, services, public meetings, and county decisions.</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Ensure county services remain accessible for seniors, working families, rural residents, and underserved communities.</strong></p></li></ul><h5>Community Impact</h5><p><strong>With more than 275,000 residents, Washington County needs a service model that keeps pace with growth while keeping people at the center. Brian’s approach focuses on making county government more accessible, transparent, and responsive — so residents know where to go, who to contact, and how their concerns are being addressed.</strong></p><p><br></p>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>County leadership should be accessibl</strong></span><strong>e</strong> through timely responses and open-door engagement, with more town halls, listening sessions, and community partnerships.</p>

As the county continues to grow, increased recreational use creates a greater need for safe, accessible, well-maintained outdoor spaces and stronger trail connections between neighborhoods, parks, schools, and local destinations.</strong></span></p><h5>Action Priorities</h5><ul><li><p><strong>Expand and maintain parks, green spaces, and regional trail connections.</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Improve pedestrian and bicycle safety through better design, lighting, signage, and connectivity.</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Protect natural resources while ensuring residents across the county have equitable access to outdoor spaces.</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Support long-term planning that connects recreation, transportation, public health, and responsible growth.</strong></p></li></ul><h5>Community Impact</h5><p><strong>Washington County maintains more than 400 miles of trails and continues planning regional connections to meet growing community needs.
