Campaign website

Reynold's campaign website stated the following:

I LOVE Alexander Co. I believe in Taylorsville. Two of my five children chose to move 30 min - 2 hours away because they wanted options. They wanted night life and variety. They wanted more than a Wal-Mart or a falling down-decaying(throwing poisonous asbestos into the air) place to gather and be teenagers/adults. They want restaurants open that weren't fast food-to talk and to network. They want to have their own businesses here. They want a place to walk in the evenings where interesting shops are open later than 6pm. They are young and want to enjoy their youth. They are the future of the entire world!!! We, in Taylorsville, are portraying a town that sleeps. A town that had a past that WAS fun but then shut down. This new generation SHOULD have These things in the home town they have grown up in and love. Taylorsville used to be a cool place. Long before I got here. There was stuff to do. There was fun. There were places (healthy ones) to hang out as teens. MOST of those teens are now running the county but they forgot the fun they had and needed at that age.


We are 50 years behind everyone else. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE our small town where everyone watches out for everyone else's kid. I LOVE going into any store and running into people I know. I don't want to change that entirely. I just want OUR kids to STAY!!! I want our kids to be here and make Taylorsville what THEY want it to be. Let's listen to them. Trust them. WE raised them here. Let's give them a voice. Just because we make downtown fun doesn't mean it won't still be hometown and safe. We have GREAT people here! Let's keep them here. Let's work together and make Taylorsville fun and prosperous for everyone. I want my kids to want to stay. Do you??[2]
