I am a Charlotte native and have lived in Stallings for 27 years. I have served on the town council since 2005, 8 years as a councilman and I'm serving my third term as your Mayor. I graduated from Independence High School in Mint Hill and Appalachian State with a degree in Community and Regional Planning. I married my high school sweetheart, Terri, and have 3 children, Matthew, Tyler and Allie. I also have 3 grandchildren, Keegan, Sloan and Mac. I've been a member of First Baptist Indian Trail Church for 27 years and a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. My proudest moment as a member of Stallings town council was the two tax decreases passed. Thank you for your support"

District 4
Council Member Laurie Wojtowicz
"I was born and raised in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, which is situated in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts. I was a Dental Technician in the US Navy, stationed in Newport, Rhode Island, then spent 8 years in Connecticut where I received my BS in Geography with a specialization in Planning from Southern Connecticut University. In between raising my children, Seth, Ben, and Sarah, I moved to upstate New York, where I started my career as Director of Planning, and later, Director of Development in Poughkeepsie, New York. I loved my very diverse job and retired after 25 years of service.
We moved to Stallings as our grandchildren are nearby and my husband Jim is the Finance Director for Indian Trail. We now have 10 grandchildren, who, of course are the "Crowning glory of our lives." (Proverbs 17:6).
I love to volunteer and have taught GriefShare classes, NAMI classes, bible studies, and have served on various boards, such as Planning Board, and various HOA boards."
