I am running for Mayor to bring 50,000 jobs to Greensboro and Guilford County over the next 10 years. I want my kids to be able to live and work around Greensboro after they graduate college. The status quo is currently an impediment to the chances of my being able to watch my grandkids grow up close by. We cannot bring in good paying jobs with an uneven playing field for businesses looking to relocate or expand. I believe we don't have a level playing field, which means some of our city's leaders have acted in the name of our community, while favoring a select few in an ethically inappropriate manner.

"City may trim county fire money"


"Four Guilford County fire districts could face their own budget shortfalls
because of the city [of Greensboro’s] money troubles.

Greensboro pays the four districts
...about $1 million annually to respond to emergencies on the outskirts of the city.

Interim City Manager Denise Turner Roth
recommended trimming $59,000 from the stations
to help close a $4.1 million budget shortfall.


What happened to the budget shortfall?

...Last year, the cut was equivalent
to the salary of one full-time staff member..."

"For the fourth year in a row, Greensboro is facing a significant budget gap, 
Interim City Manager Denise Roth 
told residents Monday night at Lindley Recreation Center.

This year’s total: $5.6 million."
