Friends & Neighbors,
I’m running for mayor because I love our community! I believe we can take better care of each other and our mountain home, recover from Hurricane Helene, and secure a hopeful future.
As a community, we’re connected and we need each other. Delivering results will require transparency, open meetings policy, and integrity that we deserve in the mayor’s office, alongside collaborative governance that brings together the experience, talent, and skills of our caring community. I believe we can win the change we deserve because we’re in this together, #MountainStrong!
Thank you for being one of the first to DONATE today!
Why I Serve:
So many of us in Asheville are struggling to make ends meet as the cost of living rises while unchecked tourism strains our natural resources, burdens our infrastructure, and displaces our most vulnerable neighbors. It’s a matter of priorities: if we ensure this is a great place to live and work, it will be a great place to visit too.
