Community & Public Service
🏘️ Wynngate HOA Board — President & Social Chair: Collaboration of decision making for maintaining common areas, managing budgets/fiscal responsibilities, and enforcing/complying with governing documents.

🤝Butner Community Association – Treasurer: Helped manage finances while supporting community involvement, service opportunities, and family-friendly programming for Butner residents.

🌳 Butner Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee - Committee Member: Providing recommendations to the Town Council on recreation services, facilities and fee policies that work toward the improvement of the Town of Butner's parks and recreation program.

My journey into public service didn’t begin with politics, it began in my own neighborhood and grew from a desire to serve my community. Each step has reinforced a lesson I’ll carry with me: Good leadership starts with listening, learning, and doing the work. If given the opportunity to serve, I’m ready to put that experience to work for Granville County with three priorities:

✅ Protect Taxpayers
✅ Strengthen Transparency & Accountability
✅ Manage Growth Responsibly

I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I’ll always listen, do my homework, ask the tough questions, and work hard for the people I represent. I’m humbly asking for your vote this November.

Protecting Our Values. Preserving Our Future.

Granville County is a special place to call home, and I believe our responsibility is to protect what makes our community special while preparing responsibly for the future.

My focus is on strengthening families, protecting our communities, improving our schools, growing our economy through free enterprise, protecting taxpayers through fiscal responsibility, and ensuring our county government remains transparent, accountable, and responsive to the people it serves.

As Granville County continues to grow, we must also be intentional about how we grow. We can create new opportunities while protecting our rural character and quality of life so that Granville County remains a place where people choose to live, work, raise their families, build businesses, and retire.

Too often, government focuses on treating symptoms instead of addressing the root causes of problems. I believe in long-term solutions, responsible planning, and quality investments that strengthen our county not just for today, but for the next generation.

That is the vision behind my campaign for Granville County Commissioner, District 7.

Leadership. Integrity. Service.
