Amy Smith Wamsley

Amy Smith Wamsley, personally registered as a Republican.

Endorsements: Roger Aiken, vice chair UNC Board of Governors, former Buncombe County school board chairman; Alice Hart, retired associate superintendent for Asheville City Schools and former principal in Buncombe County; Dusty Pless, current Buncombe County school board at-large representative; Bob Rhinehart, former Buncombe County school board chairman; Bill Wadell, community member; Blue Ridge Republican Women’s Club

Why I’m running:
In order to be effective in a position of influence concerning the welfare of our children, one must possess a 360-degree view of the system and its impact. Acquiring that view requires years of observation, activism, commitment and unselfishness. Over the last several years, I have been advocating for our schools in both private and public settings in order to unite our community around the public schools in Buncombe County.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.

About Dan Hesse
I grew up outside of Atlanta and moved to WNC in 2001 to attend Montreat College. After college, I worked at NewsRadio 570 WWNC as an anchor/reporter and covered Asheville City Council and the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners starting in 2004. During that time I also completed WCU's Master of Public Administration program. You can reach me at dhesse@mountainx.com.
