Kelly Brough

Kelly Brough’s—and the chamber’s—stamp of approval is central to big projects in the region, including everything from worker’s compensation reform to the U.S. 36 revitalization project. She’s been an outspoken proponent of the oil and gas industry and has raised concerns about the impact of the Lobato education funding case. Not everyone may agree with her, but one thing is clear: Brough’s blessing goes a long way in this town.
