Holly Springs Town Council

Holly Springs Town Council - Annie Drees

Candidate Statement:

For the past two years, I have been honored to serve on Holly Springs Town Council, championing transparency, accessibility, and sustainable growth. I’ve pushed for easier public engagement and created opportunities to connect with our community. I have consistently voted in favor of affordable housing and property rights. I have a vision of where and how we are growing that is backed by my voting record. We need leaders in Holly Springs who think big, but act responsibly in moving us forward without putting an undue burden on our neighbors.

Issues:

Sustainable Growth and Preservation

As we grow, we need to grow from the bottom up so no community is left behind. Affordable housing is an issue in our community, and as a town we need to invest in opportunities here. I plan to create more incentives for affordable housing in our larger residential plans.

Community of Inclusion

In this community, I believe we have more in common than what divides us. I would like to be a part of helping our community work together, as neighbors, growing thoughtfully into the future.

Accessible and Transparent

I believe in consistent, reliable communication and follow-through. The Town of Holly Springs has made a lot of information available on its website; I have worked to provide clear and consistent information to our town about how to sign up for Public Comment and make sure each comment is treated the same way. I continue to request from the Mayor that the Public Comment section be moved earlier in the meeting to make it easier for busy families to participate. I also believe that as a representative, community members should be able to reach out to me and get timely responses.
