A Browning woman is making history after being elected as the first woman to serve on the Glacier County Commission.
Mary Jo Bremner, who ran as an independent, was elected in November to replace Tom McKay. Bremner taught at Browning High School for 30 years â she taught for so long that many of the Glacier County officials sheâll be working with are former students of hers. After teaching, she moved to the Montana Board of Public Education for seven years.
Bremner came out of retirement to run for the commission seat, which ended in a historic win. Sheâll be the first woman, and Native American woman, to hold the position. she said sheâll prrioritize budgeting and infrastructure in her first term, and as a Native American, she wants to help bridge the divide between county and tribal governments.
