The Surry Republican Platform
What do Surry Republicans want? Everything in the Republican Party Platform, plus the following ….
- A Board of Supervisors and County Administrative Staff who will be frugal and responsible with our tax money.
- A Governor and House of Delegates to prevent unwise "woke" laws from passing.
- A county with zero debt.
- A county government and school system that will hire employees based on professional merit and not act as de facto "jobs programs" for members of certain families and their friends.
- Property developers to build apartments that fill the gap between government housing and starter homes.
- Property developers to create more affordable starter homes so a 30yr old can buy one.
- A government that will prioritize private-sector housing development.
- A local real estate industry that will help us get a BOS and Administrative Staff friendly to private-sector real estate development.
- A county government that leaves business creation, real estate development, and private land use to private-sector risk-takers.
- A county government that will not obligate the taxpayers to finance business ventures, such as an industrial park with only one tenant after 27 years, or a grocery store that relies on Food Stamps to be successful, and a future YMCA that cannot possibly support itself.
- A county government that will allow free market capitalism to prosper and provide the people of Surry County with a higher standard of living.
- We want the taxpayers of Surry County to vote proven bad managers out of office and replace them with competent and forthright managers of taxpayer funds who will make the County Government and School District run productively and cost-effectively.
