Campaign Update from Emmett
We won the very competitive primary! Now we need to win the general election, too!
The election is on Tuesday, November 8. I’ve visited with hundreds of Charleston residents walking door-to-door, and I’m hard at work on City Council. Charleston will now have a new Small Business Liaison, and I closed a loophole that is causing more vacant and abandoned properties in the city.
I hope I can count on your vote.

Latest News
Emmett spoke on fixing the problem of vacant and abandoned properties and new ways to support small businesses in Charleston at the Charleston City Council At-Large Forum, hosted by Charleston Main Streets and WCHS.
WIN! The bill passed with a unanimous vote: Emmett was featured in the Charleston Gazette-Mail for his vacant and abandoned properties bill, saying, “Open buildings that can be easily accessed from outside should have higher fees, because the cost to taxpayers from problems in those homes is higher.”
WIN! Emmett successfully advocated to add a new position to the City of Charleston, a Small Business Liaison to support local area businesses. The Liaison is part of Charleston’s new budget, effective July 1.
