Endorsements

Noelle Rhodes Scott

Former Executive Director, Cabarrus Arts Council

Kristel Swayze has mine and Edward’s full endorsement for Cabarrus County Commissioner. I have known Kristel for over a decade, working with her on the Cabarrus Arts Council board of directors, ordering items from her business, and observing as she grew as a young professional who cares deeply about this community.

Kristel demonstrates personal integrity as well as a strong work ethic. She researches people and organizations in order to make sound decisions and to disseminate the truth. She will bring these qualities to the Board of Commissioners as well as her willingness to listen to all opinions.

Edward and I believe that our community needs Kristel representing us all in this important capacity, especially as we witness division and unkindness tearing at our world, nation, state, and county.

Please vote for Kristel Swayze on March 3.

Scott Padgett

Former Mayor, City of Concord

I’ve known Kristel for years, and she is one of the most kind, honest, and principled people I know. She leads with integrity and treats people with respect, even when decisions are hard. Cabarrus County would be well served by her voice on the Board of Commissioners.

I strongly encourage you to join me in voting for Kristel Swayze.

Steve Morris

Mayor, City of Concord

I am proud to offer my full and enthusiastic endorsement of Kristel Swayze as a candidate for Cabarrus County Commissioner. I have known Kristel and her family for many years here in Cabarrus County, and throughout that time I have had the opportunity to personally observe her deep and unwavering commitment to our community.

Kristel has consistently demonstrated a genuine dedication to the best interests of Cabarrus County through her active support and involvement in numerous nonprofit organizations and community initiatives. Her service reflects not only compassion, but a clear understanding of the real needs of our citizens.

What truly sets Kristel apart is her tireless work ethic and her insistence on understanding the facts. I have never known anyone who invests more time and energy into researching complex issues, asking the hard questions, and learning the practical limitations and opportunities involved in local government. She is never intimidated or deterred when it comes to gathering accurate information, facts, and figures, and she consistently distinguishes between political rhetoric and the realistic steps that can be taken to effectively serve our citizens.

Kristel’s dedication to honest, sincere, and transparent government is beyond reproach. She willingly invests her own time and energy to ensure decisions are made with integrity and accountability, always keeping the public’s interest at the forefront.

I strongly encourage everyone—especially our unaffiliated voters—to participate in the upcoming primary election on March 3. Citizen involvement and engagement are essential, and this election will play a critical role in shaping the future of Cabarrus County.

Having served for 12 years on the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners myself, I can confidently say that I can think of no one better prepared or more qualified to honestly and effectively serve the citizens of Cabarrus County than Kristel Swayze.

Kristel Swayze has my highest recommendation and full support.
