This was my first chance to bike the Swamp Rabbit Trail, a destination spot with lots of supportive infrastructure that’s very accessible and fun for all ages. It’s no wonder it’s so popular with friends traveling to Greenville from Asheville! #bike #greenway #swamprabbittrail

As residents of a mountain home with lots of amazing wildlife, we have a role to play in limiting bear and human interactions. Do not feed the bears! Staying bear wise is part of being a good neighbor to humans and bears, and being #MountainStrong!

Costco is coming to Council in October! I have consistently supported bringing a Costco to Asheville because it will add jobs with good wages and benefits, it will keep sales tax revenue in NC, and it will help keep the cost of groceries and gas down. #costco #unionjobs #payandbenefits #Asheville
