A Proven Experienced Business Leader Committed to Strengthening Greensboro’s Economy, Enhancing Community Safety, and Building a Business-Friendly City Where Families Can Thrive and Grow.
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 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.
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.
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.
I’m Nicky Smith, and I’m not a career politician—I’m a business leader who’s spent 45 years building companies, creating jobs, and solving problems right here in Greensboro. I’ve seen firsthand how bureaucracy, wasteful spending, and disconnected leadership have hindered our city’s progress. That’s why I’m stepping up to bring real-world experience and common-sense solutions to the Greensboro City Council.
For decades, I’ve helped small businesses grow, cut through red tape, and create opportunity. I know what it takes to strengthen our local economy, attract good-paying jobs, and make Greensboro a place where families feel safe, entrepreneurs can thrive, and retirees feel at home.
This election isn’t about party politics—it’s about results. It’s about electing someone who will listen, lead with integrity, and prioritize the needs of our city. If you’re an independent voter seeking a fresh voice, new ideas, and leadership that genuinely works for the people, I’m ready to earn your support.
Let’s bring change that matters. Let’s make Greensboro stronger—together. Read my commitment here!
