I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust the people of Stokesdale have placed in me by electing me your mayor. This victory belongs to all of us — every resident who believes in the promise of our town. Together, we will build a future rooted in unity, transparency, and progress.

To my supporters, volunteers, and my amazing family — thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your countless hours of hard work, energy, and dedication made this moment possible, and I am forever grateful.

I also want to thank Mayor Mike Crawford for his four years of service. Serving as mayor carries important responsibilities, and I appreciate the time and effort he dedicated to our community. His commitment to Stokesdale is commendable.

As your next mayor, I am committed to a hands-on, transparent approach. I pledge to lead with integrity, listen with empathy, and act with purpose. My focus will be on strengthening our infrastructure, supporting local businesses, and preserving the small-town character that makes Stokesdale so special.

But this is not the work of one person — it’s a shared journey. I invite every resident, business owner, and community leader to join me in shaping the next chapter of Stokesdale. Your voice matters. Join me at town council meetings, community events, and planning sessions — your ideas will guide our progress. I encourage you to check the "News and Events" section of this website for the latest happenings as well as voice your comments and concerns on the "Contact" page.

The road ahead is full of opportunity. Let’s embrace it with courage, compassion, and collaboration. Stokesdale’s best days are ahead — and I am honored to walk that path with you.

Sincerely,

Tee Stephenson
