As Vice Chair of the Town’s Planning Board, I’ve led efforts to make growth more responsible and sustainable. As former Board Chair of the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce, I’ve fought for small business owners and local employers. I understand the challenges our town faces because I live them every day as both a resident and a business owner.
I’m running to keep Fuquay-Varina the town we know and love—one that protects its small-town character, invests in parks and green spaces, and tackles traffic with smarter planning and real solutions. I’ll bring the experience, energy, and forward-thinking leadership needed to keep Fuquay-Varina growing the right way—together.- #1. Proven Leadership Rooted in Service — Not Politics. Experience matters. I’m the experienced choice in this race—someone who’s already doing the work. For instance, as Vice Chair of the town's Planning Board, I’ve held developers accountable to ensure growth benefits our community, not just adding to traffic. When approving the new Lowe’s Foods project, I led efforts to require pedestrian safety improvements and traffic-calming measures for Lakestone Village residents. My record shows I don’t just talk about responsible growth—I make it happen.
- #2. Preserving What Works, Preparing for What’s Next. Fuquay-Varina is a thriving community with a proud past and a fast-growing future. The challenge ahead isn’t whether we grow—it’s how we grow. We must protect what makes our town special while planning boldly for what’s next. Too often, county and regional leaders still treat Fuquay-Varina like the “sleepy town down the road.” It’s time our community gets the respect—and the resources—it deserves. I’ll fight to strengthen our partnerships and secure the funding needed for better roads, smarter planning, and a real voice in shaping our future.
- #3. Supporting the People Who Make Fuquay Thrive. Safe streets and a thriving local economy are the foundation of everything our town does. Our small businesses power both our economy and our sense of community. I’ll make it easier to start and operate a business here by creating a Small Business Development Director position, expanding local grant programs, and forming a task force to learn from successful towns across North Carolina. I’ll also ensure our first responders have the staff, tools, and training they need to keep Fuquay-Varina one of the safest communities in our state.
