My mission is to bring responsible, people-first leadership to Spartanburg County Council by ensuring that our county budget truly reflects the needs of the majority of our citizens. I believe every tax dollar should be a direct investment in our community’s well-being. From improving essential social services, to supporting programs that uplift working families, seniors, and our most vulnerable neighbors.
I’m running to be a voice for common-sense spending, compassionate service, and transparent governance. By listening closely, working collaboratively, and acting boldly, I will fight to make Spartanburg a place where every resident has access to the opportunities, support, and dignity they deserve.
This campaign is about trust, and that begins with showing up, being accountable, and making decisions that put people before politics. Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable county. One choice, one vote, and one budget at a time.
Let’s make Spartanburg County work better for all of us.
I’m running for Spartanburg County Council to represent the people who are too often ignored in politics. The ones who work the hardest and still struggle to get by. I’m not running for power or personal gain. I’m running for you, our neighbors, our families, our future.
I’m running for the family that works full time yet still can’t make ends meet. The ones who juggle multiple jobs, skip their own meals to feed their kids, and lie awake at night wondering how they’ll pay next month’s rent. You deserve a government that respects your labor and ensures your tax dollars are returned to you in the form of real support. Safe roads, strong schools, and accessible services.
I’m running for the children in our public schools. Kids who are trying to learn while they’re hungry, fearful, or unsupported. Our teachers are underfunded and overstretched. I will fight to ensure that every classroom has what it needs, that every student has a fair shot at learning and growing, and that our schools reflect the dignity and promise our children deserve.
I’m running for our senior citizens, many of whom live on fixed incomes and face daily anxiety over how to pay for food, utilities, or prescriptions. These are our parents, grandparents, and neighbors; the very people who built our communities. They deserve to live with security, dignity, and access to the care and assistance they need.
I’m running for the small business owner. The local entrepreneur trying to survive in an economy where the rules seem to favor large corporations at every turn. Our local businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I will work to remove unfair barriers, reduce red tape, and help local commerce thrive.
My mission is simple: to make county government work for the people who make this county great. By investing in public services, promoting fairness, protecting our most vulnerable, and managing our budget responsibly, I will work to ensure Spartanburg County is a place where everyone, not just a privileged few, can live with dignity, hope, and opportunity.
