When National Politics Hijack Local Elections: Greensboro Deserves Better
For more than forty years, I have called Greensboro home, and I have never seen our city so divided—or so distracted from what truly matters. This past election wasn’t about local priorities like public safety, fiscal responsibility, or economic growth. It became a reflection of national anger and partisan politics, leaving Greensboro’s real challenges ignored.
Experienced, business-minded candidates who could have stabilized City Hall were overshadowed by rhetoric imported from Washington. Instead of choosing problem-solvers, voters were swept up in emotional campaigns driven by small but vocal activist groups that thrive on division.
Our police department remains underfunded, transparency in city spending continues to erode, and taxes keep rising without measurable improvement. Meanwhile, ideological slogans have replaced honest debate about how to make Greensboro safer, stronger, and more welcoming to business and families alike.
If Greensboro is to thrive again, we must reject the influence of national politics and return to common-sense local leadership. The strength of our city depends on citizens who stay informed, hold leaders accountable, and demand results—not rhetoric. Greensboro deserves better, and it’s up to us to make sure we get it.

The American Dream is Under Attack in Greensboro – And I Have a Plan to Save It
When I bought my first home here in Greensboro thirty-five years ago, I never imagined I’d be writing about how property taxes are crushing families’ dreams of homeownership. Last month, I sat across from a young couple who’d been saving for three years to buy their first home. When their lender ran the numbers including projected property taxes, they realized they couldn’t afford it. ‘We might have to move to High Point or Winston,’ she told me, tears in her eyes. That conversation haunts me because I know they’re not alone. Runaway property taxes don’t just hurt current homeowners – they’re destroying the pathway to homeownership for an entire generation.
