Charles Seaford is running for office for the first time. He said he wants to get into the business of China Grove.
Seaford, 55, is a Salisbury native who moved to China Grove 10 years ago.
A lieutenant with the Bostian Heights Volunteer Fire Department, Seaford has been teaching emergency medical technician classes since 1981.
“The biggest reason I teach is, in a small way, I am touching many lives,” Seaford said. “If I teach 10 people, then they can go out and help 10 other people.”
He teaches basic EMT classes at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and started a class at the China Grove Fire Department.
In addition to his volunteer work, he was in the Leadership Rowan class of 1995.
His biggest issue: water and sewer service.
“I want to look at the contract we have with Salisbury to provide us with water,” Seaford said. “I want to know if it is the best for the people of China Grove.”
Seaford works for Duke Energy as a vendor contract coordinator at the Marshall Steam Station.
