Charleston School Board's Nancy Cook seeks county council seat
Charleston County School Board Vice Chairwoman Nancy Cook announced Thursday that she is running for Charleston County Council District 6.
Cook has filed as a Republican in the race with hopes of unseating veteran Councilman Curtis Bostic, also a Republican.
A Charleston native who lives in North Charleston, Cook has served on the county's school board for the past eight years.
"Now I'm looking to help Charleston County be a better place to live," she said. "We face many problems in a growing county, and I have the necessary experience and motivation to solve them."
Cook said she would be a reliable voice for those living in District 6. The district includes parts of North Charleston, West Ashley's northernmost neighborhoods and parts of the county's rural areas approaching Meggett.
She said she plans to push for fiscal responsibility, transparency of governmental affairs, economic development with smart planning and growth, consolidating county services for efficiency, more county parks and greenspace preservation.
Cook also said she would advocate for public safety, particularly measures that would help firefighters in rural areas of county. "My father was a fireman, so my heart is near and dear to firemen and making sure they're safe," she said.
