MY PRIORITIES
As your commissioner I remain steadfast in my commitment to transparency, community safety, youth engagement and responsible growth. I believe that as our community grows, government officials have a responsibility to our community to make ensure citizens are at the table to discuss our growth. As your commissioner, I will continue to use my position to ensure that southwest Chatham County thrives, and the citizens are engaged in the decision-making process. I believe in consistent engagement & partnership with local leaders & activists, community organizations. Together we can collaborate to engage our youth to help them become active members of society. Through this collaboration, we will foster the development of the 6th District into a better place to live and work!
YOUTH ENGAGEMENT
Tomorrow’s leaders, policy makers, employers and workforce are represented in our youth. Our government has to be intentional in ensuring that ALL of our youth have the tools available to them to become productive citizens. As YOUR commissioner I have worked to identify grant opportunities for our youth and to develop creative ways to engage our youth. I believe that engaging our youth will help lower crime while uncovering other challenges that may need to be addressed in our community’s households.
RESPONSIBLE GROWTH
In 2020, the Census told us that there were approximately 295,000 people living in Chatham County. As of 2024 there are an estimated 325,000 people living in the county now. That growth has highlighted the lack of housing and the need for critical infrastructure in our community. When I took office in 2021, the commission was faced with challenges that were intensified by our community’s growth. As YOUR commissioner I have worked with my colleagues to tackle these issues head on while being direct and upfront with citizens.
TRANSPARENCY & GOVERNMENT ENGAGEMENT
I have worked to be transparent and responsible to you as my neighbors. I will continue to make sure that we are being responsible to our community as it relates to how we spend our tax dollars. I will continue making sure that there are direct avenues for the community to engage with YOUR government.
