I am here tonight to talk about House Bill 1089 and what it could mean for our county. The ballot measure reads “Constitutional amendment requiring limits on property tax increases by local governments.” Voters will vote “yes or no.” Nowhere in that measure does it explicitly state: “this

As important as the senate, legislative, and county races are this fall, none will be as impactful to the immediate funding of our schools as the two GO bonds that are on the ballot. In case you are not aware, there are two separate bond referendum questions, totaling $400M: One that is requesting $340M in school bonds for Cabarrus County and Kannapolis City Schools.

For example, at Hickory Ridge High School, you’ll see thousands of family, friends, and neighbors in attendance to see two teams, who have practiced for months (beginning in the scorching summer days of late July), in preparation for that very night. Almost all of those players will never play a down of football after high s

Cabarrus County is rapidly changing, and it’s up to us to elect leaders who can shepherd the county through the current and future challenges, and ensure that we are building for and welcoming the next generation of community leaders. This county welcomed me and my young family with open arms in 2009. However, the circumstances that enabled me to buy an affordable home, live close to our immediate family, and have a short commute to work are seemingly few and far between in
