I’ve dedicated my life and career to helping others.
In Holly Springs, I’ve volunteered with the Food Cupboard and coached with the Parks and Rec Department. I graduated from the Police Department’s Citizen Police Academy. As a board member of our kids’ swim club, I helped expand the program to serve more Holly Springs families. I’ve also volunteered with The Open Table, helping youth aging out of our foster care system build social connections.
Professionally, I’ve focused on building and growing communities. I co-founded a communications company that helps clients earn support for their issues with legislators both in the North Carolina General Assembly and Congress. Before that, I managed the advocacy program for a diabetes non-profit, where I helped families raise almost $2 billion for research.
I understand how government works and how it can provide the resources people need to live better.- Growing responsibly requires us to prioritize safe development and reducing traffic. To grow responsibly, we need to:
1. Change our approach from development at all costs to development when it’s worth the cost.
2. Invest wisely. Town staff has estimated we’ll need $800 million in transportation upgrades in the years ahead. To be less dependent on developers to fund transportation and be good stewards of taxpayers, we need to devote more of our town budget to address our traffic challenges.
3. Prioritize public transportation to reduce congestion and attract out-of-towners to patronize our businesses. - Engagement between the mayor and council and residents needs to improve. I will: 1. Be available more frequently. I promise you’ll be able to see my calendar and schedule time with me online and give me feedback via social media. 2. Advocate for the creation of a new Office of Outreach and Engagement. Our elected officials and staff should be reaching every corner of Holly Springs, all the time, to make sure every resident’s and business’s needs are being heard. 3. Prioritize and expand public comment periods at council meetings. 4. Make the mayor and council available to HOAs to listen to their needs and plan more effectively.
- Holly Springs needs to be more affordable for residents and small businesses. For residents, we need to: 1. Bring down the cost of town services, especially those our working families need, like our before- and after-school care programs. 2. Introduce affordable housing without burdening taxpayers or relying on developers. For small businesses, we need to: 1. Expand our Downtown Development Investment Grant program beyond downtown. 2. Help businesses pool their resources to buy services, like heathcare, at cheaper rates. 3. Work with our education partners to fund an internship program.
1. The mayor provides a vision and sets an agenda, ensuring the council is focused on the most important and helping reach a consensus on the best approach to solve our problems.
2. The mayor is the town’s loudest advocate. Whether working with the council, town staff, or partners across the region and state, the mayor needs to be aggressive in making sure our residents’ needs are met.
