Meet Haley
Leadership for Haley Markle looks like results. She has spent her career leading through complexity, making decisions that stick, and showing up when it matters. That’s just who she is.
She’s running because the decisions made at the county level shape land, growth, and opportunity for generations — and those decisions deserve someone in the room who takes the long view. Her focus is on planning, zoning, economic development, infrastructure, county employee wages, transparency, and putting community first.
These are the foundation everything else is built on.
Union County has real momentum. Haley is committed to making sure that momentum is guided with purpose — and she intends to earn that trust one decision at a time.
The Platform
Six commitments to the people of Union County.
Planning & Zoning
Smart land use that protects what you’ve built and makes room for what’s next.
Infrastructure
Roads, water, and services that keep pace with our growth.
Economic Development
Growing our economy while keeping Union County the place we chose to live.
Livable Wages
Policies that make sure working families can afford to stay and thrive here.
Transparency
Open-door governance, accessible meetings, clear communication.
Community First
Every decision starts with one question: how does this affect our neighbors?
