The priorities George Sutherland will champion for every family in Transylvania County.
George Sutherland is committed to common-sense leadership that protects our small-town way of life while preparing Transylvania County for the future. Below are the priorities that will shape his work as your next County Commissioner.
George will fight to expand affordable housing options for working families in Brevard and throughout Transylvania County, so teachers, first responders, and tradespeople can live where they work.
From traditional academics to vocational training, George supports investing in skills-based education that prepares our young people for rewarding careers right here at home.
Every family deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. George will support our law enforcement, first responders, and treatment programs that help build drug-free communities where families can thrive.
As a former financial advisor, George will manage the county budget responsibly, maximize every taxpayer dollar, and seek alternative revenue sources to reduce the burden of property taxes on families and seniors.
George believes in raising incomes and growing opportunity while preserving the cherished small-town traditions and natural beauty that make Transylvania County a special place to call home.
George will support local entrepreneurship and work to attract industries with higher-paying, year-round jobs to drive sustainable growth and keep our young talent in Western North Carolina.
George is committed to protecting generational family land so that seniors and young families aren't forced to sell because of rising property taxes or unchecked development pressure.
George will listen to people throughout Transylvania County — not just in Brevard — and consider every voice when making decisions that affect our shared future.
George will support smart, balanced stewardship of our forests, rivers, and farmland so that the natural beauty of Western North Carolina remains for the next generation.
George believes good government starts with listening. If there's an issue that matters to your family or your neighborhood, he wants to know about it.
