Candidate Info - Holly Springs Municipals Mayor - Mike Kondratick

Mike Kondratick

Holly Springs Mayor

Candidate Statement:

I love Holly Springs. My wife Mandy and I moved our family here 12 years ago. Our three kids have grown up here, attending Wake County Public Schools. Here in Holly Springs, I’ve volunteered with the Holly Springs Food Cupboard and coached with the Parks and Rec Department. I graduated from the Police Department’s Citizen Police Academy. As a board member of our kids’ swim club, I helped expand the program to serve more Holly Springs families. I’ve also volunteered with The Open Table, helping youth aging out of our foster care system build social connections.

Issues:

Prioritize safe development and reduce traffic

To grow responsibly, we need to change our approach from development at all costs to development when it’s worth the cost. Residents have made their standard clear to me: If we’re accepting more traffic from a development, the town needs to get something substantial in return.

Increase engagement

Our leaders make hasty decisions with little input. That must change. We need to Insist that our mayor be available more frequently. I promise you’ll be able to see my calendar and schedule time with me online and give me feedback via social media.

Invest in small businesses

We can make it easier and more affordable to run a small business by expanding our small business incentive program beyond downtown, helping businesses pool their resources to buy services at cheaper rates, and working with our education partners to fund an internship program.
