Caroline Renfro
Running for Ashe County Commisioner
​
Caroline's leadership of relief efforts inspired her to run for County Commission. She says,
"After Hurricane Helene I saw just how much the people of Ashe County are capable of
when we all share a goal. I believe in creating opportunities for people, eliminating barriers
to access and leading with empathy. I’m a creative problem solver and a firm believer that
the people know best what they need and that it's the obligation of leaders to address those
needs. In practice, nothing’s that easy but leaders have a responsibility to do their best to
understand and prioritize the needs of residents. Leaders cannot address a need they don’t
understand, period. We have to hear from, and listen to, the people."
