It is an honor to serve the citizens of Isle of Wight County as the elected Board of Supervisor for District 2 for my 3rd Term. Our community is one of the best places to live in Virginia. I will continue working to ensure it remains one of the best places to raise a family and do business. With your support, feedback and partnership, together we can make our community stronger in the years ahead.
During my two terms on the Board, I fought to keep taxes low, and led the charge to reduce Stormwater fees by 25%, which impacted many citizens for the better! We have not raised taxes the entire time I have been honored to serve. Even with these incredible tax savings, we were able to help fund our Volunteer and Rescue squads, add 14 Sheriff’s deputies to our County, provided pay raises to our teachers and first responders alike, as well as support numerous services that impact our citizens. We helped to remove unnecessary regulations on small businesses to help make it easier for them to create jobs and grow our economy. We have combed through outdated or cumbersome ordinances upon the taxpayer and worked to change these things through the proper public hearings and legal roads outlined by the Code of VA. We have built a new Hardy Elementary School, with increased needed capacity, and worked to ensure the CTE program of our schools is one of the best in the state, investing multiple millions of dollars in its creation, all without raising taxes. As a husband, father, and now GRANDFATHER, ensuring we can provide the best opportunities for the next generation to succeed is my top priority. We have had many great successes in these two terms. I believe having an accessible leader that is responsive and accountable is of vital importance to any community.
My wife, Amanda, and I have raised our two beautiful children here and live in Carrollton, where I have lived and served as Lead Pastor for my church, Healing Waters Worship Center, for 24 years. In addition to representing you on the local Board of Supervisors, working to provide local care and services to our citizens, I also serve on many state and regional commissions representing the great citizens of Isle of Wight County. William M. McCarty Sr.’s page lists all those boards and commissions. It has been an honor to serve you all and be chosen for critical leadership roles in this region and the Virginia Association of Counties. Some of which Isle of Wight has never had a representative selected from our elected officials to serve and or lead in.
We have accomplished a lot over the last 7 1/2 years, but there is always more work to be done as we must ensure that all well done is preserved in any forward motion. COVID-19 brought severe challenges that we had to navigate through together, and we made it together. I am running to continue representing you. We can continue to improve our County best if we do it together. There are moments when we do not always see eye to eye. Still, I will remain a visible and viable leader that this County can trust. My door is open, and I meet regularly with citizens, take numerous calls throughout the week, answer countless emails, and attend multiple meetings at the State, regional, and local levels representing our citizens. My cell phone number, office number, and location are visible to our community. I value being an accessible representative and leader. Our community is one of the oldest and most solid in the Nation, rich in history and achievements.
I look forward to working with you to continue that history together!
Pastor William M. McCarty Sr. (Pastor MAC)
Supervisor District 2 – Isle of Wight County VA
