Campaign website

Maynes' campaign website stated the following:

Here are some highlights to the campaign, and how I'm going to earn your vote.

  • This will be a 100% Positive campaign! Not a negative word will be said about any of my opponents by me. Our town doesn't have time for the political status quo. My time and efforts will be spent only on our vision and our campaign. Nothing more.

  • Want to donate? Donate your time by VOTING. This campaign isn't taking money from any corporation, organization, or person. All efforts will be 100% self funded by me. I cannot and will not be bought, and I'd rather our residents keep their money than spend it on me.

While our town has many issues at hand, and all deserve attention; the following are just some of the issues that I want our campaign to focus on.

  • Future - It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of when the next Florence will strike. We have to partner together to ensure we have infrastructure in place to keep our town safe as possible. We also have to make sure our city works department have the tools and staffing they need as our town prospers and grows.

  • Public Safety - Having worked for our police department for five years I have the first hand experience to know what our community and police need. We have a fantastic department, but we need to make sure they have the support needed to grow as our population increases. People may not realize, but Boiling Spring Lakes Police is one of the busiest departments in the county. It's imperative we keep them one step ahead. Otherwise crime will be an issue, and property values will go down.

  • Parks and Recreation - We have a great Parks and Rec department, but they need even more of our support so that our residents have things to do around town! This is truly an area where everyone can win. I'd like to see more things for kids/teens. I'm also in favor of keeping pets in mind as we move forward. It's important to me to keep this a pet friendly town.[2]
