MEET RENEE
Renee has lived in Cary for 15 years. She and her husband, Ken, have been married 34 years and raised 3 children - Rebekah, Claire, and Marcus. Renee is an avid reader and enjoys gardening, recently taking a greater interest in native plants. Her garden goal is to have something blooming in all four seasons. She and her husband are beginning to explore Cary more now that their children are grown. They enjoy finding a great meal and walking on our greenways. Renee earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Dallas and a Master of Science in Management from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Renee worked with a FIRST Robotics team, equipping the students to raise more than $8,000 toward their robotics projects. She also took the lead on the Robotics/Athletics Bill at the North Carolina General Assembly, helping students experience how a bill becomes a law.
Making sure that everyone gets a chance to vote has been important to Renee for many years. In 2013, she became a Chief Judge for the Wake County Board of Elections. Later, she worked hard to be sure that Cary voters were able to get the information they needed to make their choices at the polls. She organized volunteer teams to reach out into our community to educate citizens on when and where to vote. In 2024, she organized observer teams to monitor the election at the Wake County Board of Elections.
Renee continues to serve in her volunteer roles and to learn more about the Town. She attended Cary 101 in the spring of 2023. She and her husband attended the Citizens Police Academy later that year. She spends a great deal of time attending committee meetings and council meetings to get a better understanding of the way Cary works. Renee continues to reach out to citizen groups, especially in District C, to gain a better understanding of the issues. She also speaks regularly at council meetings and occasionally at the North Carolina General Assembly.
