Samples is the right choice for Surfside Beach

Julie Samples is a dedicated, thoughtful and conscientious public servant who puts others above herself. I encourage the voters of Surfside Beach to elect her in the upcoming runoff election as a leader on Town Council.

As a friend and educator for 22 years, I have witnessed her willingness to go the extra mile for many individuals and organizations; spearheading the communities of Seaside Elementary and St. James Elementary, as these two schools were conceived and successfully launched; supporting the endeavors of Surfside Rotary club; and being a listening ear and a voice of action for many. Julie is a quiet but relentless champion for others.

She is, at all times, prepared, professional and purposeful in her actions and her words.

Julie will work tirelessly advocating good will and prosperity for the people of Surfside Beach. No one can better represent the community of Surfside Beach. Vote Julie Samples.
