Standing with Summerfield: Why Greensboro’s Neighbors Deserve Our Concern and Respect

A sign on Summerfield Road designates the southern boundary of the Summerfield Historic District, seen on April 9, 2025. The district, which encompasses 33 contributing buildings, was placed on the National Historic Register in 2005.

A proposed bill in the North Carolina General Assembly threatens the very existence of Summerfield, a town built on local pride and community values. If passed, House Bill 801 could strip towns of their charters for “insufficient services,” erasing their identities. This isn’t just a policy debate; it’s a direct attack on communities that choose a simpler, more deliberate way of life. As a candidate for Greensboro City Council, I stand with Summerfield. Their fight is our fight. Join me in advocating for local autonomy and the right to shape our own futures. Let’s protect our communities together.
