Let's Change the Game

Jessica Thomas is a lifelong Duplin County resident, mom of three boys, and a relentless advocate for families, transparency, and common-sense leadership. Rooted in deep local history and raising her family on land that’s been in her husband’s family for generations, Jessica understands this county not as a talking point—but as home.

For years, she’s shown up where it matters: asking hard questions, digging into public records, and standing with neighbors when decisions were made behind closed doors. What began as community advocacy turned into a calling—because when the truth keeps getting buried, someone has to grab a shovel.

Jessica is an unaffiliated voter who believes Duplin County deserves leadership that answers to people, not politics. She’s not backed by insiders or special interests—just everyday residents who are tired of being ignored and ready for accountability, transparency, and a government that actually works for everyone.

She’s wanting yo get on the ballot to change the culture at the table—to make room for voices that have been shut out, to replace division with unity, and to ensure the people of Duplin County finally have a real seat in the decisions that shape their lives.

This movement isn’t about one person—it’s about all of us. Real change will take neighbors standing together, showing up together, and building something better together. If you’re ready to be part of that, sign the petition, get involved, and help change the game for Duplin County.
