AAAC Executive Director Katie Cornell discusses the latest candidate survey and the 2020 edition’s impact on local policies.
“I like the way she integrates issues like growth, conservation, farming and economics in a way that can allow this county to grow sustainably.”
“With her intelligence, energy and something so rare these days — true integrity — she will serve Buncombe County well.”
“With her corporate business experience, as well as the insight she has gained through community outreach and volunteer service, she would be an incredible asset to any public office.”
“She’s a careful decision-maker who does what she says she will do. We need that kind of thoughtfulness and accountability in our elected officials in Buncombe County.”
“As a lifelong resident of Buncombe County who has developed a stellar reputation as an educator, farmer/landowner, activist/supporter of environmental sustainability and responsibility, Terri is very well-prepared to serve Buncombe County citizens in this position.”
“Terri is a good listener who is passionate about improving the quality of life for all the residents of our county, those living in our urban areas as well as those residing in our more distant rural sections.”
“As Buncombe County voters, we deserve a county commissioner who not only believes in transparency, financial oversight, restoring accountability and trust in our county government, but most importantly, someone who can actually do something about it.”
“I believe that anyone who works in Buncombe County, regardless of job title, should be able to afford to live here. That is why I will vote for Gordon Smith, whose vision for our county includes affordable housing and living wages. “
“Jasmine has incredible vision — she sees possibility and solutions where others see intractable problems.”
