FORT PAYNE, Ala. — Last week, Councilperson Lynn Locklear Brewer announced her intention to seek a second term on the Fort Payne City Council.

Brewer is a DeKalb County native and has served on the Council since 2016, where she co-chairs Fort Payne Parks and Recreation, City Hall, and the Fort Payne Fire Department. She also serves on the board of directors at DC Gas, the Foundation Board of Northeast Alabama Community College, and is a member of the Fort Payne Rotary.

Brewer has a degree in fine arts/arts education from Auburn University. She is a past member of The Downtown Merchants Association and the Big Wills Arts Council. She also served as an advisor for Fort Payne's Culinary School and donates her time as an artist painting backdrops for the Children's Advocacy Center's annual play.

Brewer remains committed to pro-business principles. She was instrumental in the designation of Fort Payne as a Main Street Town, which resulted in over $2 million in private improvements and real estate transactions from over a dozen investors.

Brewer operates two businesses in the City of Fort Payne; The Big Mill Antiques and Artisans and the casual dining restaurant, Vintage 1889.

Brewer is married to Dr. Steve Brewer, and between them have four children and four grandchildren. They are members of the St. Phillips Episcopal Church.

The City of Fort Payne's municipal elections will be held on Tuesday, August 25, 2020.
