Thank You,
Beaufort County.

The results are in, and while this wasn’t the outcome we hoped for, the truth is simple: this was never just about an election.

Thank you to every person who showed up. To those who volunteered their time, shared a post, or simply joined the conversation about where our county’s money goes and who it should serve. You made this race about something real.

Thank you to every voter who believes that supporting local small businesses matters, no matter what side of the ballot you came down on. That belief doesn’t belong to a party. It belongs to this community.

And thank you to Beaufort County for a peaceful, respectful Election Day. That says something about who we are.

The work that started with this campaign is continuing through my other initiatives and projects: StrongerImpacts, StrongerWorks, and SilverStream. We have been building resources, products, and a community with a focus on strengthening our local small businesses and the people who run them. We even made a film launching this month.

This mission was always bigger than one office. And now it’s time to prove it.

If you believe local dollars should work for local people, stay connected. The best of this work is still ahead.

Your Neighbor in Beaufort County,

Scott Songer

A Stronger Approach to Treasury

The role of Treasurer should be straightforward and accountable:

  • Protect taxpayer dollars.

  • Use smart, modern financial practices.

  • Make sure our resources are strengthening our local community first.

When we invest locally, our businesses grow, our economy strengthens, and our future becomes more secure.
