Environment / Energy To our health. To our security. To our water. To our supply chain. To our homes. I will encourage green space preservation, identify a path to net zero development, and work with our community to create public and private partnerships and establish realistic goals in preparing for climate change and its impact on our citizenry. Environment / Energy Protecting our delicate watersheds for safe drinking water and ensuring viable wastewater treatment solutions throughout Chatham County are another factor to protect our working families. Education I pledge to support the excellent work of our current school board in the immense financial and logistical headwinds our schools face in these times. It is essential that we retain the strong and healthy partnership that exists between our current county commissioners and Chatham County’s Schools. Wages / Job Benefits We must prioritize generating job opportunities that allow citizens to work AND live in Chatham. Wages / Job Benefits I will coordinate with my fellow commissioners and our community college to ensure we have a trained, local workforce to support these businesses. Together, let’s commit to employ and support our local population rather than those outside of Chatham – one of the fastest growing counties in the state. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Law enforcement infrastructure is key – and seeking active, direct solutions to the mental health crises that are present among our youth is something I will always support. Housing I’ll strive with our current county commissioners to ensure we continue to set access to reasonable housing costs as a county priority.
