His family has always been politically active, with his Great Great Grandfather, Arthur Perry, serving on the Alleghany Board of Commissioners in the early 1900's, and his Great Grandfather, Guy Thomas Perry also serving for nearly 14 years.

Brandon Anderson wants the best for Wilkes County. That includes being an inclusive community that lifts up all its citizens and doesn't divide them. His platform also includes:
The Wilkes County Board of Commissioners has been exclusively Republican for nearly 25 years, with little noticeable progress in Wilkes. That just simply doesn't make sense. Yes, Democrats are the minority within the county, but we should still be represented on the County Board of Commissioners. We still need to give our greatest resource for the future, our young people, a reason and desire to come back to Wilkes and raise their families.
Anderson wants to bring about positive and productive changes to Wilkes County, pure and simple.
