Believes "Glynn County needs to determine how zoning and other ordinances contribute to public health, safety, and quality of life, and choose to proceed according to those interests, not the needs of specific business or commercial interests."

Said "In recent history, the Glynn County Board of Commissioners (BOC) has been disproportionally composed of developers or others with financial ties to development. Moreover, the BOC has made appointments to committees with people who also have financial ties to development."

Said she "will fight to preserve the historical charm of the Golden Isles enforcing the ordinances. She will be a strong voice for managed growth that conforms to our existing land use plans and zoning laws."

- County Commissioners create and pass laws at the county-level. These laws show up in very tangible ways, such as determining how much you pay in property and sales taxes, public transportation, and maintaining infrastructure.
- County Commissioners are responsible for preparing and passing the county budget. The budget determines how much funding goes to various public services, such as public transportation, law enforcement, repairing roads, and maintaining infrastructure.
- County Commissioners oversee the administrative duties of your county’s government to ensure the safety, comfort, and well-being of county residents.
- County Commissioners are elected to 4-year terms in staggered years. Typically, you only vote for the County Commissioner that represents your county commission district.
