" had the opportunity to work with Julie Dixon during her time as a council member in Richland County, South Carolina, and I came to know her as someone who is deeply committed to public service. Julie is passionate about the communities she represents, willing to put in the work required to move issues forward, and consistently strives to be part of the solution. She is not afraid to speak up when needed, but she also takes the time to listen carefully to all sides before forming her position. Her thoughtful, balanced approach and dedication to the public good make her a strong asset in any leadership or advocacy role."
