Full Biography
Her life is a testament of the American dream --Lenard knows and
understands the American traditions of hard work, community service,
and strong values very well, because those are the same values she was
born, raised, and educated with. Her American values and common-sense
are a testament to the work she strives to accomplish such as the
promotion of individual liberty, economic opportunity and a smaller
federal government. Brenda Lenard believes in America and the people
which make up this great nation.
Brenda Lenard grew up in Atlanta, Georgia with a loving mother
and five siblings and little else. Her mother worked a variety of jobs
. Even though these jobs required hard work and little glamour, her
mother knew this life was better than the dirt farms upon which she
grew up. She also stressed to her children that hard work was the key
to achieving their American Dreams.
Lenard’s mother had two dreams. First, she wanted to move her
children out of the condemned building they called "home"
and into their own house. Secondly, she wanted her children to
graduate from college. As a single parent of six, these aspirations
might have seemed lofty, but she knew that if she kept her faith in
God, faith in themselves and faith in the greatest nation on the
Earth, nothing was impossible.
The first dream was realized in a rural community on the
outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia. After years of saving from her many
jobs, Lenard’s mother surprised the entire family, by purchasing a
home for their family. The second dream was realized when Lenard
graduated cum laude from Beulah Heights Bible College with a degree in
biblical studies and leadership in 2005.
Herman Cain, former Presidential Candidate, remarked “Brenda, we
need you in the United States Senate.” Here’s why…. Brenda Lenard is a
commonsense conservative, with proven leadership that will represent
all Americans.
"I have a vision of a Better. Brighter. Bolder America - as
the defender of life, liberty and freedom in times of peril and of my
fellow Americans as always persevering, courageous and confident. It
is with this vision of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that
I begin this campaign." - Brenda Lenard, candidate for United
States Senate.
Inspired by the work ethic and character of her mother, Lenard
continued her education by earning her Masters degree in public
administration from Kennesaw State University while working full-time
and raising three small children. She is currently completing her
dissertation in political science and evaluation measurements and
statistics from the University of Tennessee- Knoxville. Though Lenard
enjoys using her talents in academia, she has gravitated towards the
culture of public service.
Lenard began her professional career in private banking as a
private bank advisor for Heritage Bank. After considerable success at
Heritage bank, she moved to MCI. Within a short period of time, Lenard
rose to position of HSE supervisor. Although the comforts of a corner
office seemed gratifying, Lenard new that she needed a challenge.
She became the chief executive officer of a mid-size
construction firm. This meant starting from the “ground up,” operating
and maintaining heavy equipment and general labor. Lenard was assigned
to grow the new start-up in an overcrowded and competitive industry.
Within two years, the firm was boasting a consistent track record of
improving efficiency, maximizing profits whilst minimizing costs.
Energized by overcoming the many obstacles of her job at Blend
Construction, Inc. , Lenard took on the greatest challenge of her
career. Following the death of her six month old son due to Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome, she founded and serves as the Chair of National
Strategy for Daniel's Dream for Children's Awareness, Inc. An
organization committed to heighten public awareness of Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome.
Under Lenard's administration, the Daniel's Dream for Children's
Awareness has grown significantly, Lenard has been recognized for her
advocacy by the American Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Institute. Her
non-profit successes garnered the respect and admiration of industry
peers who named her to the advisory board of Middle Tennessee State University.
Today, as a conservative candidate for the United States Senate,
she is very active and outspoken voice for conservative issues. She
serves as a regular contributor on several radio broadcasts and as a
keynote speaker at conferences and events around the nation.
Despite the many professional commitments of her life, Lenard
continues to enjoy most the time spent with family. As her children
grew older, she knew that she had an extraordinary obligation to do
what she could to make this a safe and prosperous nation for
generations to come. The paramount joy in her life are her children.
