Elect Ginny Hines

My reason for running is to

Promote Shared Governance: Encourage greater civic participation and collaboration between city officials and residents to shape public policy.
Ensure Transparency: Strengthen access to information and decision-making processes to rebuild trust in local government.
Uphold Fiscal Responsibility: Prioritize careful budgeting and responsible stewardship of public funds to meet current needs and prepare for long-term sustainability.

Public Service is just that, public.

The city council must advise the city manager in a direction that will benefit the current and future residents.
Rapid development must not occur without public input, data-driven decisions, and careful consideration of all the facts.
Government decision-making must be visible; it just makes sense and it's the law.

My mission is to restore opportunities for the residents of Port Wentworth to become informed and active participants in the governance of their community.
My plan is to shed light on the workings of the CIty of Port Wentworth by creating opportunities for the residents of Port Wentworth to access information, be seen, heard, and valued.
Through the use of face to face contact, social media, and digital newsletters, I vow to provide consitutients with updates, valid facts, and needed transparency.
