Julie Samples is right for Surfside Beach council

I would like to encourage the residents of Surfside Beach to vote for Julie Samples for Town Council. Speaking as her neighbor and a senior citizen, I want people to know that she is very generous with her time in providing many small kindness and services to me and others.

Even with her real estate business and her many volunteer activities, she always manages to visit and provide transportation or anything else that is needed.

She very much wants our town to be preserved as it is and not let it be ruined by tall commercial buildings with no green space. What is most important is to keep Surfside Beach safe, clean and unique. This benefits residents and local businesses.

We couldn’t ask for a better neighbor. I’m sure we couldn’t elect a better council member.
