Mike’s Priorities for the Town of Mt. Pleasant
Consensus & Civility
I lead by listening, finding common ground and building trust. On Town Council, my non-partisan commitment to ensuring citizens are heard will guide decision-making in a collaborative spirit.
Sustainability & Resilience
Protecting our community on a vulnerable coast requires proactive policies. I will strengthen our tree ordinances to protect nature’s most effective drainage and cooling systems, putting muscle behind Mt Pleasant’s claim as a Tree City with our Community Forest Plan.
Live, Work, Connect
A thriving community includes a healthy mix of housing types, jobs, and transportation of all types, including safe walking, cycling, and public transportation. I support the vision for Mt. Pleasant Way and appropriate density. I also support working collaboratively within the greater Charleston area on these initiatives.

Clean & Green
As a long-time supporter of Charleston Waterkeeper and multiple conservation groups, I believe that quality of life for residents and all creatures is predicated on climate-friendly policies. I will work to enhance stormwater management, clean waterways, and smart growth.
Family Forward
Carole and I were fortunate to have our blended family of three sons grow up in Mt. Pleasant, who now have brought three daughters-in-love, six grandchildren, and a number of grand-dogs and grand-cats into our family, all living in the greater Charleston area. I support the Town’s investments in recreation, parks, and active lifestyle.
