Elect a tireless worker for Cabarrus County commission

On May 6, we have a chance to elect a selfless public servant rather than a politician!
This person has been a Cabarrus County resident since 1980 and is a graduate of Mount Pleasant High School. She has stayed in the county and runs a small local business. Her husband is a Concord fire engineer and her son is a Charlotte firefighter.

She has served on our school board over the last four years and is the current chairperson. She has worked tirelessly to streamline the school construction process to ensure quality schools are being built with savings that can be put back into the classroom.

Throughout her personal and business life and during her time on the school board, Holly Blackwelder has proven to be a public servant rather than a politician. We need a person focused on public service who will lead Cabarrus County as it continues to grow.

Please consider Holly Blackwelder for Cabarrus County commissioner when you vote on May 6.
