PAC Statement

Larry Loucks: A Trusted Champion for Open Government and Fiscal Responsibility

Larry Loucks brings years of respected public service in Zebulon, including a seat elected to the Town Council in November 2019. While not currently holding office, he maintains an exceptional level of public engagement—attending more Board of Commissioners meetings over the past two years than at least two current commissioners. This consistent attendance reflects his deep commitment to oversight and accountability.

Loucks actively engages with citizens, connects town officials with residents, gathers community input, and openly offers advice and suggestions on key local issues. His involvement underscores his belief in civic engagement and transparency.

His fiscal expertise is widely recognized—current commissioners reportedly turn to him to better understand Zebulon’s budget. That trust and collaboration highlight his reputation as a principled, knowledgeable, and clear communicator on financial matters.

There are no public allegations of conflicts of interest against Loucks, and community members and town officials generally regard him as trustworthy and steady. Though some voters remain neutral or seek change, few assign Loucks blame for Zebulon’s recent governance problems. Instead, they see him as a steady resource bridging the gap between citizens and their local government.

For voters who value transparency, fiscal competence, and civic trust, Larry Loucks stands out as a proven advocate ready to earn the Mayor’s office.

Larry Loucks Drops BIG Plans for Zebulon’s Future

Candidate Statement

I’m running a seat on the Town of Zebulon Board of Commissioners.

As of a couple of weeks ago I threw my hat in to serve the town that I’ve spent most of my life in. I moved here as a 7 year old with my family in 1987. Since then, I’ve played sports here, went to school here, biked miles all over town as a kid and lived no more than 5 miles away at any time in my life. Until I decided to run, I also worked and served this town as a Zebulon Police Officer from 2009 to May of this year. I resigned so I could run for this position. That was hard to do but I feel like this is the next step in my service to this town. I have also been a General Contractor for several years, working with and now running a family business. In saying that, the experience gathered from both with a lot of life experience will now carry me in my service as a Zebulon Commissioner.

Here is what I aim to T.A.P. into as your Commissioner:

Transparency- I am committed to keeping residents informed about decisions and developments in the town. Community trust is gained and secured with involvement and openness to discuss town issues, good or bad.

Accountability- Public officials are responsible stewards of community resources. Only if they answer for their decisions and are not afraid to answer for their decisions in public meetings. This must be the standard.

Progress- The Town of Zebulon is moving forward. I will use my experience in building and development to keep it going in the right direction and bring forth the wants and needs of the citizens.

I’ve worked to serve and protect the citizens of Zebulon for 16 years as a police officer and will continue to do so through leadership and steadfastness as your commissioner. I ask you for your support to carry this out.

Thank you and see you at the polls on November 4, 2025!

Jesse Brown for Town Commissioner: Trusted, Steady, and Community-Focused

Jesse Brown brings 16 years of dedicated service as a Zebulon police officer—earning respect for his steady presence, professionalism, and conflict-free record. His long-standing role in public safety reflects a deep commitment to the community and a calm, dependable approach to leadership.

In addition to law enforcement, Brown is the owner of JR Builders, giving him hands-on experience with construction, growth, and infrastructure—key issues as Zebulon continues to expand. He’s not a politician looking for the spotlight, but a public servant who understands how local government impacts real people.

Though he has maintained a low public profile, those who know Brown speak highly of his integrity and work ethic. There’s little to no public criticism, and sentiment leans positive among voters familiar with his service. His quiet, drama-free approach stands in contrast to the dysfunction that has recently frustrated many residents.

For voters looking for capable, grounded leadership—free from controversy—Jesse Brown offers a trustworthy and experienced voice. His background in both public safety and development makes him uniquely equipped to help Zebulon grow responsibly and rebuild public trust.

Ex-Police Officer Jesse Brown: Why He’s Running for Zebulon Commissioner!

Candidate Statement

My name is George Roa, and I’m running for Zebulon Town Commissioner to bring steady, informed, and community-driven leadership to our town.

I’m a Christian, husband, father, coach, and small business owner. Since moving to Zebulon in 2023, my wife and I have bought our first home, welcomed our daughter Carmen, and committed ourselves to building up the town we now call home.

I serve on the Zebulon Planning Board and was part of the development team that brought Zebulon its first commercial mixed-use project—a major step toward local jobs, better housing options, and long-term economic growth.

I helped launch the Zebulon Bearcats youth football team, secured nonprofit status, and personally funded equipment so local kids could safely take the field. I volunteer as a boxing coach for youth, and I serve on a church planting team bringing a new Spanish-speaking congregation to Zebulon. I’ve also served on my Homeowners Association Board, advocating for neighborhood safety, transparency, and responsiveness.

To improve communication, I created Zebulon en Español, a group translating town meetings and police updates for Spanish-speaking residents. I also organized a series of podcast style discussions to break down complex town policies—like the UDO, land use plan, and town budget—into clear, accessible conversations.

I’m not a politician. I’m a neighbor who shows up, listens, and takes action.

This November, you get two votes. I’m asking you to make George Roa one of them.

Leadership that listens. Experience that delivers. Community that comes first.

PAC Statement

George Roa for Commissioner: Experienced, Engaged, and Community‑Focused

George Roa brings a blend of professional experience, planning insight, and community outreach to his run for Zebulon Town Commission.

As a licensed residential and commercial Realtor and developer, Roa operates his own brokerage in Zebulon and spearheads a 15‑acre mixed‑use property near Zebulon Road that’s currently under a $2.2 million contract.  This business acumen gives him a real‑world understanding of local investment, property values, and the practical impact of municipal planning decisions.

His role on the Planning Board gives Roa direct influence over zoning and land‑use decisions. He was involved in approving a major 161‑acre development on Pearces Road (approved June 2, 2025), marking meaningful progress on growth projects that align with Zebulon’s expansion plans.  In a recent Town Hall, Roa expressed support for “by‑right development” changes in the Unified Development Ordinances as essential to keeping Zebulon on pace with neighboring towns like Apex and Morrisville.

Roa distinguishes himself through active community outreach. He supports Spanish‑language engagement—including translating petitions such as the “Clean Slate” initiative—to ensure broader access to civic participation for Zebulon’s Latino residents.

Taken together, Roa’s combined professional leadership, policy experience, and emphasis on inclusive communication position him as a constructive, forward‑thinking choice. Voters seeking tangible growth, equitable access, and planning‑savvy representation may find in George Roa a Commissioner candidate grounded both in local business realities and community accountability.
