Katrina Krasowskis Mcguire

Katrina McGuire is a candidate seeking appointment to the Town of Mills River Town Council representing District 03 in Henderson County, North Carolina. The seat became vacant after the resignation of longtime town founder and former mayor Roger Snyder, prompting the town to accept applications from residents interested in serving on the council [12].

The Town Council is a component of municipal government in North Carolina, a category of offices listed for the 2026 election cycle on Ballotpedia’s statewide election overview [1]. Council members are responsible for local legislative functions, including setting policies, approving budgets, and addressing community concerns, as is typical for municipal governing bodies in the state.

Katrina McGuire is among nine residents who submitted their names for consideration to fill the open District 03 seat. The other applicants include former council members, local business owners, and community volunteers such as Brian Kimball, Paul Richmond Meadows Jr., Tristan Cowie, Eugene Edwards Jr., Jerry Frady, Teresa Peterson‑Spoonholtz, Jeffrey Young, and Dr. Sayyad Yaseen Zia. One applicant, Sonya McCall, withdrew her name prior to the selection process [12].

While specific details about McGuire’s professional background, education, or prior public service are not provided in the available sources, her inclusion on the list of candidates indicates an expressed interest in contributing to the governance of Mills River. The appointment process will be overseen by the town’s governing officials, who will evaluate the applicants and select a council member to serve the remainder of the term leading up to the general election scheduled for November 3, 2026 [12].

If appointed, McGuire would join the council in addressing local issues such as zoning, public safety, and community development, aligning with the typical responsibilities of municipal council members in North Carolina. Voters in District 03 will later have the opportunity to elect a council member during the regular election cycle.
