Pitt County Commissioners District 3

Your current job and title:

Attorney and educator. I am the owner of Nunnally Law Offices, PLLC, and The
West Side Cello School, and teach strings/orchestra at The Oakwood School. I
currently serve as the District 3 representative on the Pitt County Board of
Commissioners.

Your highest level of education:

Juris Doctor (J.D.), New York Law School. I also hold a Bachelor of Music degree from East Carolina University.

If you're elected or re-elected, what will be your top priority? Why?

My top priority will be helping Pitt County manage its continued growth
responsibly while protecting the quality of life that makes people want to live
here. That means maintaining strong public schools and public safety, investing thoughtfully in infrastructure, parks and recreation, supporting economic opportunity, and being careful stewards of taxpayer dollars.

Pitt County is growing and changing, and many of the decisions we make now will shape the community for decades. I want us to think beyond the next budget year and make investments that leave the county stronger, more connected and more livable for the next generation.

If you're elected or re-elected, how will you involve your constituents in the process of making decisions?

Accessibility has always been important to me. I give constituents my cell
phone number and encourage them to call, text or email me directly. Some of the most useful information I receive as a commissioner comes from individual residents who see a problem in their neighborhood or community before county government does.

I also believe listening has to happen before a decision is made, not simply after it. I try to hear from residents, county employees, community organizations, businesses and other stakeholders, ask questions, and then make decisions based on the facts and the long-term interests of Pitt County. I may not always agree with every constituent, but I will always listen and explain where I stand.

Why should voters choose you for the position you're running for?

I have tried to approach county government as public service rather than
politics. I am willing to work with people across political and philosophical
differences, dig into complicated issues, and look for practical solutions that
move Pitt County forward.

I also bring a broad perspective to the Board. I am an attorney, educator, small-business owner, musician, coach and parent. Those different roles keep me closely connected with families, students, businesses, nonprofits and neighborhoods throughout our community. I understand that decisions made by county government eventually become very real decisions affecting people's schools, businesses, property, taxes and everyday lives.

I would be grateful for the opportunity to continue bringing that perspective and experience to the Board of Commissioners.

Which three things about you do you most want voters to know?

First, I am accessible. If a constituent has a problem or an idea, I want to
hear from them.

Second, I believe effective local government should be practical and collaborative. Most of the challenges facing Pitt County are not partisan problems; they are community problems and solving them requires people who are willing to work together.

Third, I care deeply about the long-term future of Pitt County. I am raising my family here, teaching and coaching young people here, operating a small business here and investing my time in this community. I want Pitt County to remain a place where our children can build lives of their own.

Is there anything else about you that you wish to tell voters?

Serving on the Pitt County Board of Commissioners has been one of the great
privileges of my life. Local government touches people in ways that are
sometimes easy to overlook -- from schools, emergency services and economic development to parks, libraries, public health and the infrastructure we depend upon every day.

I remain optimistic about Pitt County. We have tremendous assets in our people, our educational and medical institutions, our rural communities, our growing business community and the character of the place itself. I would be honored to continue working to preserve those strengths while helping Pitt County prepare thoughtfully for what comes next.
