Field Notes
Short, practical reads from the campaign — how conservation funding works, what the Soil & Water district actually does, and the ideas we'd like to bring to the board. No jargon, no fluff.

Read the postFive supervisors, no drama, and a mission that touches every farm, stream, and classroom in the county. A plain-English tour of the district behind the down-ballot race.
Read the postSmithfield began as a trading town on the Neuse. Keeping that river healthy starts in our fields, yards, and ditches — long before the water reaches anybody's tap.
