Carrie Slatosky was not born in Randolph County. Falling in love with and moving to Randolph County to raise a family is not disqualifying. It is honorable.

I am also a parent raising three children, which gives me a personal stake in the future of our community. I care deeply about protecting children, supporting parental authority, and ensuring that explicit or inappropriate material is not made accessible to minors in public spaces. These are not abstract issues to me; they are real concerns that affect families every day.

Carrie Slatosky

Carrie Guess-Slatosky was born outside Randolph County. She is raising three children.

In addition to public service, I work as a medical office manager, where I deal every day with budgets, regulations, staffing, and compliance. That experience has given me a clear understanding of how government decisions affect small businesses, families, and access to essential services. It has reinforced my belief that local government must be efficient, fiscally disciplined, and respectful of the people it serves.

Carrie Guess-Slatosky currently works as a medical office manager.

I am running for County Commissioner because I believe our county deserves leadership that is engaged, principled, and grounded in real-world responsibility.

I currently serve as a Soil and Water District Supervisor, where I have worked directly with landowners, farmers, and agencies on issues that affect property rights, land use, infrastructure, and long-term stewardship. That role has shown me how important practical decision-making and accountability are at the local level.

2026 North Carolina General Election

I support protecting Present-Use Value taxation so working farmland is taxed based on its agricultural use, not speculative development value. Without PUV, many family farms would be taxed out of existence.

I believe farmland in North Carolina should remain in production, not pushed out by unchecked development or undermined by policies that ignore the realities of farming. I support North Carolina’s Right-to-Farm protections so farmers who operate lawfully and responsibly are not driven out by nuisance complaints after residential or commercial development moves in around them. Farms that were here first should not be punished because the area around them changes.

Local government should reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens and provide clear, predictable rules so farmers can plan, invest, and pass their operations on to the next generation.

I also support practical investments in rural infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and drainage systems that farmers rely on every day. Reliable infrastructure is not a luxury for rural communities. It is essential to getting products to market, maintaining safety, and keeping farms economically viable.

Reliable infrastructure is not a luxury for rural communities. It is essential to getting products to market, maintaining safety, and keeping farms economically viable. Private property rights matter, and conservation efforts should be voluntary, incentive-based, and guided by sound science rather than one-size-fits-all mandates written without farmer input.

Most importantly, farmers deserve a seat at the table. Decisions affecting agriculture should be made with direct input from those who work the land. As an elected official, I will listen to farmers, respect private property rights, and support policies that keep North Carolina farms viable, independent, and productive.
