Education, Transportation and Jobs – During my tenure as Commissioner we have passed the highest teacher pay supplement in NC; a $2.3B transit plan to quadruple services; and more than 50,000 jobs have been created from businesses expanding and new employers.
The Commission has adopted a 20-Year Affordable Housing Plan. Next, we will work with the private sector and municipal partners on implementation and funding to meet the ever-increasing need.
The Commission passed the Wake County Living Wage ordinance and hired an economic development officer to support vulnerable communities. I work with Launch Raleigh, providing mentoring, education and capital access.
This is a federal law enforcement issue. The sheriff does deal with immigration issues at the detention center, but the County Commission does not have control over enforcement policies.
The sheriff is an elected office, not under Board of Commissioners’ oversight. The Office of Sheriff is responsible for its own budget, which is audited annually and subject to public review.

Tim Jowers represents Americans in East Wake County. He started delivering newspapers when he was 10 and has worked many places, including projects for governments, Fortune 100 companies, and many, many small companies.
Better Financial Management - represent interests of taxpayers.
Foster business development - don't compete with businesses.
Represent East Wake County - development, services, and fair allocation.
The county should foster growth in jobs and education. These are the essential ingredients to affording housing. Subsidizing apartment owners or capping rents do not improve housing affordability.
Ensure fair employment practices including conformance with work place safety and fair treatment of employees. Provide streamlined access to the legal system for victims.
The USA is a nation of immigrants. Does any more really need to be said? Immigration, including H1 visas, are a con job. Immigration should be easy.
The Sherriff's department faces tough work. I believe training and accountability ensure they perform as well as possible.
