Voices of Selma Residents

“As a landowner and business owner in Selma I support Adele Walker’s mayoral candidacy.  My closest friends and family have lived in Johnston county for over 100 years. We love our town. It is in our blood. We know Adele is deeply committed to making Selma a place where everyone can thrive. Her ability to communicate hard truths is just what our community needs. She’s smart, understands everyone’s perspectives, and cares deeply about our town and ALL its people. She is both analytical and compassionate. She has a  no-nonsense approach to solving problems while standing for justice and total transparency. North Carolina has changed a lot since the global pandemic of 2020 and five years later Selma is proud of its small town charm. The citizens and business owners of Selma know very well that the accelerated growth in population we’ve experienced since the pandemic brings with it both opportunities and challenges that require a fresh perspective for us all to see Selma move into the future and avoid the problems that plague many of our surrounding towns and cities. Anyone who spends more than five minutes with Adele knows how deeply committed she is to making Selma a town we can all be proud to call home. Adele Walker LOVES Selma. She is one of us.”

“I am inspired by Adele’s commitment to community growth and her genuine care for every resident’s voice and needs. Because she leads with compassion, fairness, and a deep sense of responsibility to the people of our community. Adele has a genuine heart for those who are struggling, especially our unhoused neighbors and families living in poverty. She doesn’t just talk about change—she actively supports efforts to provide real solutions with dignity and respect. Her commitment to restoring transparency and trust in our local government is grounded in her belief that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. As a small business owner and real estate agent, Adele understands the importance of building a town where opportunity is shared, and no one is left behind. Her leadership is exactly what Selma needs.”

“I’m casting my vote this election day for Adele for Selma’s next Mayor! Adele is very honest, cares for the welfare of Johnston County and all residence and is a very well established business woman. I’ve found Mrs. Walker to be very instrumental in assisting with the affairs concerning Selma and Johnston County as a whole. “
