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.
