I’ve spent most of my career helping other candidates get elected and influencing policy from outside government, including the last more than seven years as an environmental advocate. But I can’t shake the feeling that, in this critical moment for our country, our state, and our town, I could be doing more to help people. So I’m stepping up to offer my vision, my skills, and my relationships with elected officials and policy experts across the state and country to serve Wendell and shape the next several years of its future for the better. I love this town, and I want more people to appreciate it. I want those who live here now and those who will live here later to live out their dreams in a hometown they brag about to everyone they know.
  • Wendell is one of the fastest-growing towns in North Carolina, and we need more housing units to accommodate those who want to be part of our still relatively affordable corner of the world. Everyone deserves a quality place to live, and I want Wendell to be a welcoming community where everyone can afford to thrive, truly living up to our “Small Town, Big Charm” motto.
  • I want us to be a model town for zoning and connectivity, so that we have the housing supply and amenities that people desire and the multimodal transit options, including sidewalks and our growing multiuse path, so people can get to them by car, foot, bike, and golf cart in as little time as possible.
  • I want us to be more than a bedroom community for Raleigh. That means attracting more major employers and dining and entertainment options so people can live, work, shop, and play in our town rather than driving somewhere else.
Housing, transportation, environmental protection, energy, democracy
Guiding the work of planning and building a welcoming community where everyone can afford to thrive.
I was an assistant custodian at my church one summer and then did it again between jobs in my early 20s.
Like a lot of folks in my generation and younger, I struggled in the housing market. I wasn't able to buy a house until I was almost 37, which is sadly younger than the current average age of a first home purchase in America (38). I'm dedicated to addressing this crisis.
