Rooted in Values, Focused on You: A Vision for All of Greensboro

By Nicky Smith
Candidate for Greensboro City Council District 4
April 24, 2025

As someone who has spent more than 45 years building a business right here in Greensboro, I’ve learned that what brings people together isn’t politics—it’s values. The kind of values that don’t change with the latest headline or partisan talking point. I’m talking about faith, family, and capitalism—core principles that unite us all, whether we’re longtime locals or new arrivals chasing the American dream.

In this year’s City Council election, I want you to know where I stand—because my campaign isn’t about party lines. It’s about people.

Faith
Many of our neighbors, especially those who came here from places where religious freedom doesn’t exist, know how precious this right is. I stand firm in defending the freedom of religion for every person, regardless of their background or beliefs. That’s not just a policy—it’s a moral obligation.

Family
Parents—not bureaucrats—should have the final say in how their children are raised, educated, and cared for. I will always support legislation that affirms the fundamental rights of parents and families. Strong families are the foundation of a strong Greensboro.

Capitalism
As a lifelong entrepreneur, I understand how bureaucracy can hinder dreams. I proudly support efforts to reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses, especially in our Hispanic community, where entrepreneurship is booming. When we empower business owners, we create jobs, generate wealth, and expand opportunities for everyone.

In November, I’m asking for your vote—not because I wear a label, but because I live these values. I represent all of Greensboro. And I’m ready to serve you with common sense, compassion, and commitment.

Let’s build a future we’re all proud of—together.

Let’s build the future our city deserves. Greensboro is ready for a new era—let’s get to work.
