In today's landscape, the demand for strong, principled leaders in Haywood County is more urgent than ever. As we face life's challenges, we need leaders who rely on their faith to inspire courage and resilience in themselves as they serve our community.


Authentic leadership goes beyond politics and power; it is rooted in the understanding that our strength comes from faith. This belief enables leaders to stand firm against challenges, including those from outside agitators who seek to intimidate us into silence and submission.


The Core Values of Leadership


Faith, discipline, integrity, and patriotism are not just words; they form the foundation of effective leadership. These values are vital for anyone serving the community—whether in a church, community social club, or local political groups and organizations. Leaders who embody these principles are dedicated to serving the needs and best interests of their constituents above their own.


Haywood County voters believe that leaders who act with integrity significantly impact their community’s trust. As a veteran and civic activist, I live by these principles daily. I advocate for informed citizens, fully believing that when empowered with knowledge, individuals will engage in their civic responsibilities. I draw strength from my fellow Haywood County Republicans, who inspire a united community committed to shared values.


The Birth of “The Informed Citizen”


It is from this unwavering faith that “The Informed Citizen” initiative was born. This group aims to provide Haywood County Republicans with the information needed for informed voting decisions at the ballot box. By fostering a strong sense of patriotism and encouraging community involvement, we aim to help Haywood County citizens hold their elected officials accountable.


“The Informed Citizen” consists of committed Haywood County Christian Conservative Republicans working to educate our community about the importance of voting. Those who stay informed about local issues are more likely to vote according to their values. We aim to empower citizens with the information they need to ensure that our public services, healthcare, and governance reflect our shared beliefs and expectations.


The Role of Faith in Leadership


Faith is vital in shaping a leader's character. It provides purpose and guidance, helping leaders navigate challenging times. In Haywood County, we need grounded leaders who will stand up for what is right, even when faced with resistance.


Leaders driven by faith are better equipped to handle the complexities of governance. They understand that leadership is about service, not personal gain. This dedication fosters trust among community members, encouraging collaboration and unity. Leaders who openly share their faith will see a rise in community support.


Standing Against Intimidation


Recently, outside forces have been attempting to push their agenda on our community and silence us through intimidation. These agitators threaten the values and harmony we cherish in Haywood County. Fortunately, with faith-driven leaders, we can confront these challenges directly.


Our leaders need to understand the importance of resilience during difficult times. By trusting their faith, they can inspire unity among citizens. Together, we can stand against those who attempt to sow discord in our community.


The Importance of Civic Engagement


Civic engagement is the foundation of a strong democracy. It's not just about voting; it's about staying informed and involved in the political process. “The Informed Citizen” encourages Haywood County Republicans to participate actively in civic life, ensuring their concerns are heard.


By sharing factual information, we aim to help Haywood County citizens understand the issues and see how their votes matter. When citizens are informed, they take responsibility for their community's future.


Building a Stronger Community Together


Looking ahead, unity within our community, based on shared values and service, is essential. Leaders demonstrating faith, discipline, integrity, and patriotism will play a vital role in guiding us toward a brighter future.


We must support one another in creating a community that mirrors our values. This includes fostering open discussions, teamwork, and standing together against forces that try to divide us. Together, we can make Haywood County a stronger, more resilient place.


A Call to Action


Now more than ever, Haywood County needs leaders who trust their faith to inspire courage and strength in their service. We must foster a culture of informed citizenship, empowering everyone to engage in the political process and hold leaders accountable.


Let us uphold the values of faith, discipline, integrity, and patriotism as we move forward. By doing so, we can ensure our community remains a beacon of hope, standing firm against challenges. Together, we can create a brighter future for Haywood County, grounded in what truly matters.


To this end, "The Informed Citizen" is now prepared to begin conducting informative Forums regarding local civic activities, healthcare issues, and political initiatives. A post is forthcoming with the date, time, and location of our first Forum.
