I was elected to the Pitt County Board of Commissioners representing District 4, the county’s western-most district, in November 2018 and began a 4-year term in December. As a result of this campaign, I wound up getting a Facebook page that I still use for communicating with constituents. 
       I represent the Commission on the county’s Soil and Water Board, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Regional Planning Organization, and the Mid-East Commission.
