Jeremy Hollingsworth
Challenger Jeremy Hollingsworth is running for Mayor in Raeford, North Carolina. The election was held on November 4, 2025.
For more than 21 years, I have proudly served as an educator with Hoke County Schools, and for the past 18 years, I have been honored to serve as a pastor, walking alongside people in faith and life. Along the way, I’ve also worked as a coach, counselor, and Realtor; roles that have all deepened my passion for serving people and building community. Now, with the blessing of my wonderful wife, Mary Hollingsworth, and our three children, I am stepping forward to serve in a new way—as mayor of the City of Raeford.
Service has always been at the heart of what I do. Whether in the classroom, the church, or the community, my mission has been simple: to help people live with purpose, grow stronger, and make the most of life. As mayor, I will continue that mission while working with you to build a stronger, more vibrant Raeford. My priorities include:
*Economic Development:** Growing our local economy, supporting small businesses, and creating partnerships that benefit the entire city.
*Public Education:** Strengthening our schools so that our children can succeed and return as the workforce of tomorrow.
*Social Concerns:** Investing in our seniors while expanding opportunities for youth, recreation, and community engagement.
*Infrastructure:** Developing a sustainable plan to address parking and downtown infrastructure challenges.
*Leadership:** Providing steady, forward-thinking leadership that celebrates our story, champions growth, and positions Raeford as an All-American City.
Together, we can honor our past, strengthen our present, and build a bright future for Raeford.
