About Brad!
My commitment to my principles!
I am a long-time resident of Maple Grove, having lived here since 1996 after growing up in Brooklyn Center and attending college in Mankato. I am deeply invested in our community, both personally and professionally. For 17 years, I owned and operated a mortgage company in Maple Grove, managing over 100 employees and holding licenses in 13 states. Following the mortgage crash, I transitioned to the payments industry with my spouse, Denise, and we now run SwyftPAY, one of the fastest-growing payment providers in Minnesota. Our company serves over 10,000 businesses across all 50 states, Canada, and Central America....
Dedicated to the Community
I have a unique perspective on how to support our local businesses and yet have compassion for those that may not feel supported in the community.
Families are a Core Principal
Families are at the heart of our values, guiding our commitment to creating a safe, supportive, and prosperous community for all.
Innovation Fosters Growth
Innovation is the driving force behind growth, empowering us to build a brighter, more prosperous future.
My Biography
Denise and I have five children: Jonathan and Jacob, 21-year-old mechanical engineering students at UMary in Bismarck; Lucy, a high school senior planning to attend college; Joseph, a 9th grader; and Sophia, entering 5th grade. Our children have all attended Ave Maria Academy in Maple Grove, and we strongly support the school.
In 2018, I was honored to be endorsed by local delegates to run for State House, an experience that significantly shaped my political journey. Although unsuccessful, this opportunity taught me the importance of authenticity and relentless effort, earning enthusiastic support from friends and neighbors.
My broad executive experience in B2B and B2C businesses has prepared me well for a councilman's role. I am committed to staying in Maple Grove indefinitely, as the community has supported us through joy and sorrow. Despite the current political and economic climate, Denise and I are dedicated to our friends and neighbors here.
I am an active member of the Chamber of Commerce and a 30-year parishioner of Mary Queen of Peace in Rogers. I also financially support various organizations throughout Maple Grove and the state. My campaign has a conservative budget. I have commitments for donations and am leveraging my extensive network to raise the remaining funds.
I aim to reach out to every voter I can by utilizing proven campaign tactics and new technologies, including extensive door-knocking, phone banking, mailing, the SwipeRed texting platform, and a dedicated team of 5-10 volunteers. My website, BradGanzer.com, is updated regularly with new logos, imagery, and content.
I have been thoroughly vetted during my 2018 campaign and have no issues that would cause concern. My focus for this position includes public safety, fiscal responsibility, a vibrant and business-friendly local economy, parks and recreational opportunities, and traffic management.
My commitment to my political principles and the way of life we enjoy here in Maple Grove is unwavering. Since 2012, I have actively held various leadership roles and participated in various campaign activities. I have supported other political candidates and causes as needed.
Most importantly, I support Maple Grove, its local businesses, its various communities, and its citizens. I am fully committed to not only maintaining our way of life but also enhancing it in the future.
"Join our campaign team, your energy, ideas, and commitment can make a real difference."
