"Proven leadership for a thriving Forsyth County"
As a native of Forsyth County, with experienced leadership and a successful record as a former member and Chair of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education and current County Commissioner, I have consistently advocated for budgets that provided more funds to public school education and benefits to employees. I have also lobbied and collaborated with county staff, local municipalities, nonprofits, and developers to support affordable and workforce housing, and proposed adjustments to the procurement policy to increase HUB/MWBE contracts. I will continue to listen and fight for your interests.
