The City of Tega Cay elected two new council members yesterday. The results of the election were tallied and shared with the Tega Cay Sun late last night. 
Carmen Miller, the real estate agent, business owner and 18 year resident of Tega Cay was the clear overall winner. Her message of “Purposeful Leadership” and her ability to grow a successful business from an idea to a reality propelled her to a hefty margin of victory.
“I’m truly energized and filled with positivity when I think about the potential for a better Tega Cay. I firmly believe that the best days for our community are still ahead of us. What makes our city special is the unique blend of passionate individuals who deeply love Tega Cay and hold steadfast to their values and vision for our collective future.”
Brian D. Carter, a credit union branch manager and 17 year resident of Tega Cay was also a majority winner. His message to “build unity in our community” resonated with residents who may be tired of the division seen in other state and national elections.
“Building unity in all parts of Tega Cay is another area the city could improve on. We need to focus on having the same amenities in all parts of our city. Signage when entering from different areas and installing poles with the Tega Cay flags on them in all parts of our community like the ones that line Tega Cay Drive on the peninsula would be just a few examples.”
Also important to note, for the first time in the history of Tega Cay, minority candidates have been elected to city council. What’s more, this happened in the same election. Both Carmen and Brian will provide a diverse perspective not yet seen in the existing council.
