“ I am honored to serve this year as Vice Chair of County Commission. Education, infrastructure investment, and supporting Buncombe families are top priorities this year.

I’m committed to advocating for all parts of our community and fighting to make sure that we receive the state and federal funding needed to help Buncombe build back stronger than ever.”
