Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Shirley Green Fayson originally born and raised in New York. Currently residing in Lexington, SC. I am the mother of 5. My passion is to serve the community and address the concerns of the people. My hope is to bring awareness in the importance of voting and getting the community more involved in knowing that their vote is needed and will make a difference.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Let's Make A Difference
• Carry on the fight of our ancestors and vote to make a difference.
• This pandemic has change our lives, let's all step it up.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Civil Rights has always been an area I have been passionate about. While growing up in the 1960's I could tell how black Americans were treated different. When the late, great Martin Luther King started the civil rights movement, it was in hopes of bringing equality to not only the black american community but to all Americans.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

As being a divorce mother of 5 I have developed a strong demeanour and have the determination of not quitting in order to provide a life for myself and children. So when situations arise I have the ability to face them head on to find a solution to the problem. I'm a believer in doing what is right.
