If property values continue to increase as expected through the 2026 Property Value Revaluation, homeowners in Greensboro could stand to pay higher taxes. Would you support adjusting taxes to offset any increase to property owners for 2026? Please explain why or why not?

Earlier this year, the public learned that former City Attorney Chuck Watts was engaged in work for an outside client while employed by the city. City leaders were unaware of the extent of the outside work, with Mayor Nancy Vaughan saying in July: “We were under the impression that it was small — that it was not day to day. Our bad for not being more specific.” What lessons do you think the city should take from this situation and how would you ensure accountability and transparency in city government if elected?
