Chatham County, NC Blogs

A 54% vote is a big win in a 3-way race and any win is a great win! You did it!!

Thank You for your votes and your financial support of my Reelection Campaign.

As you can imagine, there are days in my service that are long, hard and difficult and then there are days that don’t seem long enough and are very rewarding. Either way, I will continue giving 110% in my service as Commissioner from District 2 and I will do my very best to serve all citizens of Chatham.

Again, I thank you for your support and look forward to continuing my service to the county.
