Community partners reflect on former mayor’s tenure

Brandt Rydell said he’s never lost sleep over any vote he made in his seven years as Taylor’s mayor.

“You just have to vote with your conscience,” Rydell said. “Take all the information, the best information you have at the time, and cast your vote with all of that in mind. Do it with a clear conscience that you’re doing what you think is the right thing.”

Rydell, who served on Taylor City Council for 12 years and as mayor since 2017, is officially relieved from his duties after not running in the May 4 general election.
