Kevin's Platform

Maintain Local Control

I stand firmly for local control. Who cares more for Pinehurst then its residents? Who better understands our history and proud traditions. I will vigorously oppose any state effort to undermine Pinehurst’s ability to govern itself. Lets work together to

Keep Pinehurst Local !

Enhance Senior Services

Pinehurst is uniquely positioned to be a model senior-oriented, age-friendly, community. A much more intentional and coordinated effort is needed to ensure our seniors remain safe, engaged, and empowered.

Improve,
Don’t Destroy the Circle

Our iconic traffic circle is more than a roadway, it’s a symbol of the care, beauty, and tradition that make Pinehurst unique. Lets improve, not destroy the circle. Lets nurture, protect and enhance the good things that bought us here.

Maintain and Enforce STR Ordinance

Lets work together to preserve our residential neighborhoods and more importantly, the essential, long lasting relationships that are the fabric of our community I support the current STR ordinance and will work to balance the rights and responsibilities of homeowners

Nurture our Unique Quality of Life

I believe that the job is of the Village Council is both straightforward and critically important: to nurture the good. That means preserving our unique village charm, managing growth responsibly, and ensuring quality public services that meet the needs of young families and seniors alike.

Invest in the Vitality of the Historic District

The Historic District is one of the Crown Jewels of Pinehurst. Lets always strive to promote the beauty and vitality of our downtown and our merchant community. Lets nurture the good things that brought us here and protect the legacy that's been passed down to us.

Support Local Merchants

The strong merchant community is the anchor for our historic downtown. Our shops and restaurants offer a beautiful setting and legendary hospitality to our neighbors and guests alike. Lets support our merchant community. As they prosper, so do we all.

ETJ

Pinehurst has always been associated with a peaceful "Town and Country" lifestyle. The Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) represents a large area, the Pinehurst controls, that is home to family farms and the equestrian community. Lets work to protect the ETJ, to resist over-development and continue to provide are Village with the breathing space we have all come to know and love, Town and Country, each is essential and inseparable.
