Food Security & Community Health
When a child is too embarrassed to eat because of unpaid school lunch debt, that is not just a family problem, it’s a community failure. I know what that feels like, because I’ve lived it.
As your Commissioner, I will:
- Work to eliminate school meal debt and make healthy meals accessible to every child.
- Expand partnerships with food banks, local farms, and community organizations to fight hunger across both rural and urban neighborhoods.
- Strengthen public health programs that connect food access, nutrition, and wellness because good health starts with good food.
Educational Equity & Opportunity
Every child deserves a fair shot, no matter their ZIP code. Our schools must be centers of learning, safety, and possibility. Strong schools build strong communities.
As your Commissioner, I will:
- Push for equitable funding so every school has the resources and safe facilities students need.
- Invest in afterschool and mentorship programs that give children the support they deserve.
- Champion job training and career pathways that prepare young people for college, trades, or the workforce.
Economic Development & Good Jobs
A thriving Guilford means families are able to earn steady, fair wages, and businesses have room to grow. I bring 21 years of progressive HR experience and workforce development experience to this challenge.
As your Commissioner, I will:
- Work to expand support for small businesses and entrepreneurs through grants and partnerships.
- Attract new industries that commit to hiring locally, paying fair wages, and investing in Guilford workers.
- Build stronger training pipelines in partnership with community colleges and workforce programs.
- Make jobs accessible to marginalized communities through innovation in training, transportation and other obstacles to full employment.
Justice, Equity & Community Investment
A county budget is a moral document. It shows what, and who, we value. Guilford must be a place where no one is without the support they need to thrive.
As your Commissioner, I will:
- Push to ensure that county resources are distributed fairly across rural, suburban, and urban areas.
- Invest in affordable housing, healthcare, mental health and addiction recovery services that keep families strong.
- Promote community safety rooted in trust and collaboration, not just punishment.
