Brady

Brady, TX

Anthony Groves

Mayor

Pledge Summary

Brady is a small city in Central Texas with a population of over 5,000, ideally located in the center of Texas portion of the Monarch Flyway where in the last days of September, monarchs from Canada and the Northeast are funneled south into Mexico. Brady is also home to a butterfly and hummingbird garden that contains native plants, shrubs, and milkweeds and is adjacent to a 3/4 mile walking trail along the beautiful Brady Creek. Brady Mayor, Anthony Groves, has committed to saving the monarch butterfly and other pollinators with his signing of the Mayor's Monarch Pledge and looks forward to engaging residents in building more pollinator habitats throughout the city.
