Why I'm Running for Town Council
I love Holly Springs. This is the driving force behind my candidacy for this office. Various facets of my personality an values suit me well for this role but nothing compares to my passion, love and pride for the Town of Holly Springs. It has been an honor to serve this community through Town Council this last year, and consequently I have only felt more persuaded and empowered to continue to help make Holly Springs the best place to live and grow in the world. There is no other place I would want to raise my own young family. I offer a perspective that is typically less represented on Town Council being “mom” to a young family in Holly Springs. Representing the young family, a massive segment of our growing population, is crucial to shaping our community. More than a third of our population is 18 years old or under. That is a huge number of kids growing up here in Holly Springs. The decisions we make today will affect their future home and opportunities. I am running for Holly Springs Town Council because I can help focus on what is important for the whole town. I have a mindset of understanding and compromise based on principles that are exactly what Holly Springs needs to continue to thrive as a united community. I am here to help make Holly Springs a perfect home to everyone, just like it is to me.

Let's talk about GROWTH. Did you just think, "You mean 'TRAFFIC'"? You're not alone. My 5, 4 and 2 year old talk about it too if ever we come to a stop in town (even a standard red light). It's a part of our infrastructure that has an impact on our day to day lives. Our way to work or play and our way home. I'll tell you what I'll tell th
Let's talk about GROWTH. Did you just think, "You mean 'TRAFFIC'"? You're not alone. My 5, 4 and 2 year old talk about it too if ever we come to a stop in town (even a standard red light). It's a part of our infrastructure that has an impact on our day to day lives. Our way to work or play and our way home. I'll tell you what I'll tell them: We're working on it. The hot topic of traffic in (and out of) town is in fact a result of progress. Do we have a lot of work to do? Absolutely! I'll acknowledge the challenges and opportunities that a town growing at the rate Holly Springs is as readily as anyone, and I'll tell you that in every development approval or zoning change that comes before Council it is one of the topics we spend the most time considering and pushing for improvements on. This is and will continue to be a focal point for me: your roads.

There are MANY moving parts of the place that we choose to call home that affect our quality of life. The parks and programs our kids frequent; the ways and locations that we have available to shop, eat work and play; the infrastructure of the town that fulfills the basic needs of all residents including our roadways, water, trash and yar
There are MANY moving parts of the place that we choose to call home that affect our quality of life. The parks and programs our kids frequent; the ways and locations that we have available to shop, eat work and play; the infrastructure of the town that fulfills the basic needs of all residents including our roadways, water, trash and yard waste collection. All of these are important to me. But, I believe perhaps none of these would be of any significance if we could not rely on the safety of our selves and our families. I take great pride in Holly Springs being recognized as one of the safest towns in North Carolina, and I take great pride in our Holly Springs Police Department and Holly Springs Fire Department who provide us so effectively with that security. I will continue to recognize and support in any way that I can the work that these organizations do to ensure the safety of our residents.

There are many things that Holly Springs has done so well over the last several years. Take, for example, our incredible Parks and Recreation department.

There are many things that Holly Springs has done so well over the last several years. Take, for example, our incredible Parks and Recreation department. I have so much pride in our parks and our programs and my family and I participate in as many of them as we can! There's so much more to come and it's all worth our excitement. But, I want to take a moment to focus on something else we do GREAT. The Economic Development of Holly Springs over the last several years has been exceptional and will have impacts on town funding and our quality of life for generations. Much of my focus moving forward will center around Small Businesses and how we can support the start and operation of small businesses in this community. These small businesses are a point of pride in Holly Springs and bring so much character to our town. It is my goal to get our community behind them for continued success.
