Terri’s Vision for Forsyth County

Low Taxes, Strong Economy

Ronald Reagan said it best: “Government does not solve our problems, it subsidizes them.” Terri supports low taxes and a strong economy for Forsyth County. Public assistance should be reserved for those who are in need

The Best Schools For Our Kids

Parents know what is best for their kids. Terri is a firm proponent of school choice. Our kids should only get the best education.

Keep Forsyth County Safe

Crime is soaring across the country. Terri will never support any plan to defund the police.
