Why Kimo

I’ve brought objectivity, reason, and financial knowledge to the council member seat. I am a firm believer in approaching matters and concerns with a constructive and open mindset to help solve any issues that our city faces. For 20 years I have been an advocate for economic growth and development while having our residents’ best interest in mind. I have a business, finance, and management background that I believe can boost our economy to meet its full potential.

“When Kevin Condon, Brandon Cox and I were 1st elected to Goose Creek City Council, Kimo immediately reached out to me. He was excited about the ideas, energy, and commitment to Economic Development we had. He knew the potential of Goose Creek, and he knew together, we could get there. In the intervening two years, Kimo was the voice of experience and reason when I needed it. But, his excitement to see what we would become never ceased. It still hasn’t. Kimo could not be happier for Corey McClary and what he brings to our council. But, his work is not done. We continue to need his knowledge, experience, and voice of reason on Council. We need it to ensure the successful implementation of our shared vision. I hope you all will mark your calendars for July 31st and vote Kimo Esarey to continue the work he started.”

          “I’ve known Kimo for close to 2 decades and I’ve been fortunate to work with Kimo during my 8 years on Goose Creek City Council. I have found him to be open to a wide variety of ideas, which is a critical characteristic for a successful Councilmember. He has been a seeker of consensus and is one of the many reasons why I 100% support his return to Goose Creek City Council. We need his experience and knowledge on Council and I’m asking all my fellow Goose Creek residents to VOTE Kimo Esarey on July 31st.”

“I’ve had the privilege of sitting next to Kimo for the last 2 years and have learned a lot from him, we all have. Anytime I’ve had a question, he was always happy to answer it or help me find what I was looking for. He always asks thought-provoking questions that help provide insight into many of the things that come before council. His love for this city and desire to serve the citizens of Goose Creek still burns deep and bright. Please help me put Kimo Esarey back on City Council so he can finish what he’s started. We are doing great things here in Goose Creek and he has been a big part of it So on July 31st Vote Kimo Esarey for Goose Creek City Council.”
