ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Davarus
WHO I AM
I am a devoted Christian, and my faith guides my integrity and commitment to serving others. Raised in Jones County, North Carolina, I value small-town traditions while understanding the needs of growing communities. Since 2021, I have proudly called Zebulon home. I am a graduate of Fayetteville State University with a degree in Computer Science. My wife, Coffee, and I are dedicated to building a strong future for our town. I also come from a family of service—my father is a military veteran and volunteer paramedic, and my mother is a former nurse active in her church.
MY EXPERIENCE
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, which trained me to think critically, analyze complex issues, and build technology-driven solutions. My career has allowed me to gain a wide range of experiences that directly translate to serving as Town Commissioner.
As a Workforce Analyst, I worked with data and planning to improve efficiency—skills that are essential for managing growth and making fiscally responsible decisions. As a Customer Service Team Lead, I learned how to listen, build consensus, and lead a team toward shared goals. My experience in real estate gave me valuable insight into development, business needs, and how growth impacts a community.
These roles have prepared me to approach challenges with both vision and practicality. They’ve also reinforced the importance of transparency, accountability, and putting people first—qualities I will carry into service as Town Commissioner.
VISION FOR ZEBULON
Growth Is Already Here
Growth is already here, and how we manage it will define Zebulon’s future. My vision is a community that grows responsibly, balancing opportunity with care. Together, we can make Zebulon a place where families thrive, businesses invest, and residents remain proud to call home.
Stronger Infrastructure
Growth has brought more traffic and pressure on our roads. We must invest in smarter traffic solutions, expand capacity, and improve sidewalks and stormwater systems. By upgrading infrastructure, we make Zebulon safer, more connected, and better prepared for tomorrow.
Diverse Housing Options
With growth comes new housing demand. Zebulon should offer options for everyone—first-time buyers, working professionals, and retirees alike. Thoughtful housing development ensures affordability, supports workforce growth, and keeps our town welcoming to all.
Local Business & Downtown Growth
Growth should bring opportunity. By recruiting businesses in retail, dining, and entertainment, and by revitalizing downtown, we can keep spending local, create jobs, and make Zebulon a true destination.
Restoring Trust in Government
Growth challenges require trusted leadership. I will ensure our government remains open, accountable, and accessible. By holding regular community sit-downs and listening before decisions are made, we can restore confidence and keep residents at the heart of every choice.
A Stronger, More Connected Future
Growth is already here—now we must guide it with purpose. My vision is a Zebulon where progress is matched with responsibility, where opportunity is within reach, and where community values lead the way.
