Meet Dr. Janet Donahue
Experienced Leadership. Committed to Brentwood.
For 30 years, Brentwood has been my home. It’s where I’ve raised my family, built my career, and dedicated my time to serving this community. Now, I’m ready to step up in a greater capacity as your City Commissioner—to protect what makes Brentwood special and plan for its future.
A Career of Service
As an Emergency Medicine Physician, I’ve spent decades making critical decisions under pressure—listening, problem-solving, and acting in the best interest of those who depend on me. That same level of commitment and responsiveness drives my approach to public service.
For the past 11 years, I’ve served on the Brentwood Planning Commission, helping guide smart growth while preserving Brentwood’s character. As Chairman since 2016, I’ve led efforts to ensure responsible development, protect property values, and uphold the high standards that make Brentwood a premier place to live.
Deep Roots in Brentwood
My involvement goes far beyond my role in city government. I’ve worked alongside Brentwood families, students, and civic leaders through:
- Brentwood Library Foundation – Board Member & Officer
- Friends of the Brentwood Library - Lifetime Member
- Brentwood 2020 Project – Participant
- Brentwood Citizens’ Police & Fire Academies – Graduate
- Brentwood High School PTO & Band Parents Association – Volunteer, Medical Staff
- Cub Scouts & Boy Scouts – Den Leader, Merit Badge Counselor
- Holy Family Catholic Church – Religious Education Teacher, Medical Mission Trips to Haiti & Honduras
- Williamson County Poll Worker - Local, County, State, Federal Elections
I believe in giving back to the city that has given my family so much. Brentwood’s success depends on leaders who listen, understand the issues, and act with integrity. That’s the kind of leadership I bring—and the kind Brentwood deserves.
A Vote for Janet is a Vote for Brentwood’s Future
Brentwood’s best days are ahead, but we must be thoughtful, proactive, and fiscally responsible in our decisions. With a proven track record of leadership, I’m ready to serve as your City Commissioner and keep Brentwood strong, stable, and Brentwood proud.
