Let’s work together for Greensboro’s future

My platform consists of these priorities for Greensboro.

Public Safety 👉

Public safety is my top priority. The rising murder rate has not only created a perception that Greensboro is a dangerous community but has also impacted the sense of security for residents, and we must take decisive action to change this narrative and ensure safety for all.

Affordable Housing and Community Development 👉

Affordable housing and equitable development are not just policy issues—they are about the quality of life for every Greensboro resident. I believe that by working together, we can create a city where growth benefits everyone, not just a select few.

Building a Stronger Economy 👉

Our economy must grow by creating opportunities for all and improving the quality of life for our neighbors. This requires supporting jobs, workforce training, university partnerships, small and large businesses, cutting red tape, improving transportation, and expanding housing options.

Engage, Support, and Grow Our Small Businesses 👉

I will prioritize empowering small businesses—the heartbeat of our community—by reducing red tape, expanding funding opportunities, and fostering growth through strategic initiatives to create jobs, drive innovation, and strengthen neighborhoods citywide.

Spring’s Green Glow, Fall’s Big Rake

The Return of the Rake: A Leafy Tale of Lost Services and Fall Frustrations

Nicky Smith March 29, 2025

Spring in Greensboro brings the beauty of green leaves fluttering in the breeze—but don’t let them fool you. Come fall, those same leaves will turn into a backyard burden, and thanks to the City Council’s decision to cut loose leaf pickup, you’ll be stuck raking, stuffing bags, or paying out of pocket—again. Nicky Smith knows the struggle (he doesn’t like picking up leaves either), and he’s running for City Council in District 4 to bring common-sense services like leaf collection back to the people. This fall, let’s clean up more than just our yards—let’s clean up City Hall.

Running American Hebrew Academy as an unused migrant center cost taxpayers $242M. What's next?

We Cannot Let the American Hebrew Academy Campus Sit Dormant

Nicky Smith March 28, 2025

The former American Hebrew Academy campus on Hobbs Road—once a premier educational institution—is now a symbol of government waste and growing local concern. After the federal government spent nearly $242 million to prepare the site for migrant housing, not a single child was ever housed there. Now, with the property back in the hands of its Chinese-linked owners and no clear plans in sight, residents fear the campus may fall into disrepair. City Council candidate Nicky Smith is calling for immediate action to find new ownership and put the campus to productive use before it’s too late.

Protecting Our Kids: North Carolina Takes a Stand Against Social Media Harm

Social Media Accountability for Our Children Is Long Overdue

Nicky Smith March 25, 2025

In a world where social media has rapidly infiltrated every aspect of daily life, especially for our children, North Carolina’s House Bill 301, titled “Social Media Protections for Minors Under 16,” is a much-needed step toward safeguarding our youth. This bill aims to prohibit children under 14 from creating social media accounts and requires parental permission for those aged 14 and 15. As parents witness the toll of social media on kids—ranging from anxiety to decreased focus—this legislation empowers families to take control of their children’s online experiences. Discover how we can protect our children in the digital age.
