Sampson County

I am writing to proudly announce my candidacy for the position of Commissioner in District 4 of Sampson County. My name is Raymond Hedrick Hayes, Jr. and I am excited about the opportunity to serve the citizens of this district with dedication, experience, and a commitment to enact positive change.

History

I am currently a resident of the Ivanhoe Community, where I have lived happily with my wife, Sadora Peterson Hayes, for the past 21 years. We also own property in the Snow Hill Community, which is also part of District 4. Together, we have built a life devoted to public service and community engagement. My wife, Sadora has been an educator in the Union School District for over two decades, which only underscores our shared commitment to the betterment of our community. We have two adult children Zipporah and Raymond,III (Trey).

Professional Experience

Professionally, I bring a wealth of experience to the table, which I feel will be beneficial in my quest to serve as county commissioner. For the last 13 years, I have served the mental health community as a psychiatric tech at Novant Hospital. Before my work in mental health, I dedicated 15 years to teaching in both the Union and Clinton school districts. Additionally, I served as a state correctional officer for 5 years, gaining valuable insights into the complexities of law enforcement and public safety.

Community

In my free time, I am an active member of the Harrell’s community, where I serve as a volunteer firefighter. This experience has allowed me to witness firsthand the challenges and strengths of our local community. I am running for Commissioner because I believe that District 4 deserves a strong and compassionate leader. My diverse background has equipped me with the skills and understanding necessary to address the varied needs of our community. More importantly, I am a dedicated listener who values the input and concerns of the people I aim to represent.

Raymond’s Pledge

My vision for District 4 includes safe communities, a strong law enforcement investment, and accessible services for all residents. I am committed to working tirelessly to achieve these goals and to ensure that the citizens of Sampson County receive the support and representation they deserve.

I humbly ask for the support of the citizens of District 4 in this upcoming election. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community. Thank you for considering my candidacy.
