Candidate Statement:
Mary Beth Murphy is a teacher, coach, wife, mom and advocate for change in Guilford County, North Carolina. After years of watching elected officials divest public education, the backbone of a strong economy and community, Mary Beth decided to step into politics for her students, her family, and her community. She is committed to using her role in leadership to solve problems, to give voice to those who are often silenced, and to work tirelessly for equality for all members of her community.
Mary Beth believes the people of Guilford County should be fairly compensated for their work, and is committed to fighting for a living wage. She knows that we must invest in our future by investing in public education. Further, Mary Beth sees the value in fully funding the Department of Health and Human services in order to provide additional school nurses and to improve access to health care for all residents. Mary Beth cares deeply about her community and is excited for the opportunity to serve.
