Wrightsville Beach should be a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. In recent years, however, the Town Board has come under scrutiny for its unequal, arbitrary, and ethically questionable decisions in public matters affecting residents, property owners, and local businesses. We must restore public faith that local leaders are acting in the best interests of the all members of the community.
As an experienced lawyer, I will always ensure our local government conducts matters and discussions fairly, thoroughly, and appropriately. All residents and visitors to our town will be treated with dignity and respect.
Implement and enforce ordinances in the way they were intended
Work with town to make adjustments, amendments, and responses to any and all community challenges and conflicts
Conduct all matters and discussions fairly and appropriately
Ensure compliance with state law at all times
Eliminate public uncertainty in matters before the Town boards
We must safeguard the shores of Wrightsville Beach from immediate and long-term injury.
Our pristine waterways and shoreline are our greatest natural assets. We must prioritize safe drinking water, prevent offshore drilling, and increase hurricane preparedness. It’s been over a year since Hurricane Florence, yet some people remain displaced and many homes still need repairs. The town must work with state and federal agencies to better prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Together, we will take the necessary steps to mitigate the inevitable effects of climate change in our region.
“It shall be the policy of this State to conserve and protect its lands and waters for the benefit of all its citizenry, and to this end it shall be a proper function of the State of North Carolina and its political subdivisions to acquire and preserve park, recreational, and scenic areas, to control and limit the pollution of our air and water, to control excessive noise, and in every other appropriate way to preserve as a part of the common heritage of this State its forests, wetlands, estuaries, beaches, historical sites, open lands, and places of beauty.”

The coasts and waterways belong to the people of North Carolina. We must improve transportation to be more accommodating to residents and visitors alike. Traffic congestion is a problem that can be solved with 21st-century solutions, but only if we have the political will and social determination to do so. We will work with Wilmington officials and planning experts to investigate the potential for an improved public transportation system to make our beaches more accessible to everyone.
