On this episode, meet a local leader! Mattie is a lifelong Halifax resident. She is the 9th child of 12 and learned at an early age the importance of giving back to her community. 

Her love for giving back to the community has led her to serve others by getting involved in local elections. She is currently running in hopes of being elected to the Board of Supervisors. She urges everyone to register to vote, the importance in listening to learn, and to serve people as best as you can.

Mattie leaves several pieces of wisdom with us on this episode, including, "to those who have given much, much is required."
