Balancing Progress with Preservation

I believe that now is the time for fresh ideas and a new approach. We must have leaders who are trusted to have our best interests in mind while having a clear vision for the future. We must eliminate inconsistencies and uncertainties in our laws, if we don’t more wasteful lawsuits will continue at the expense of Lumpkin County residents.

We need to balance growth with consideration of the GA MTN Regional Commission Comprehensive Plan from 2022, where citizens expressed their desires and ideas.

Together, we can foster a working relationship with joint work sessions, collaborative meetings, and shared common goals that benefit all. I will create opportunities for the residents of Lumpkin County

to have their voices heard.

I will raise awareness among property owners so they can protect their property against fraud. With our explosive growth, the chance of fraud increases. Every property owner in Lumpkin County should know how to proactively protect their property when documents related to their property are recorded. This helps individuals detect potential fraud early, like unauthorized deed filings, and take appropriate action. Signing up for these free alerts is a proactive step homeowners can take to protect their property from title theft and scams.

Being in leadership roles throughout my career, I believe in fostering an environment where everyone can feel that they can express ideas, even if those ideas might be different than my own. I will hold quarterly brainstorming sessions, department by department, to identify obstacles and challenges so that we as a county can reach our full potential. 

I will stand up against projects that hurt our citizens and support projects that enhance our community. 

I will lead Lumpkin to a better future, as we balance progress with preservation- Katherine
