"Greensboro City Council - District 4 Candidate

About Me I am excited to announce my candidacy for City Council - District 4. As the co-owner of Collins & Galyon General Contractors Inc. and a life long resident of Greensboro, I am committed to work to move Greensboro forward through positive leadership, vision and experience.

I feel it is time for Greensboro to turn the corner. If elected, I will champion what is good in our city by supporting and leading efforts that focus on job creation and economic growth, along with continued investment in city services and infrastructure.

I am committed to serve as a positive voice that represents the best interests of District 4, as well as our entire city.
