De IULIO, FARRIS, and GEMIGNANI Speak Out On Commissioners’ Baseless Attack and a Controversial Rezoning Consideration

Waxhaw Commissioner candidates MICHAEL De IULIO, DAN FARRIS, and JOHN GEMIGNANI are already demonstrating the leadership and resolve the community needs. At the Waxhaw Board of Commissioners meeting on July 22, 2025, they stepped forward to directly confront the unfounded attacks made by Commissioner Wesolek, who resorted to her usual disgraceful posturing, and attempted to label them as “racists,” an accusation entirely without merit. Wesolek’s approach, rooted in divisive and outdated political rhetoric, was not only baseless but transparently desperate. Her attempt to smear these candidates backfired, revealing more about her own character and strategy than about those she sought to discredit.

They also voiced opposition to a current rezoning proposal, where the board was asked to sacrifice valuable commercial land in exchange for high-density residential development. Notably, their comments were buttressed by numerous members of the community who also spoke out against the project.

It’s important to note that a healthy residential-to-commercial ratio for taxpayers is about 65:35. Unfortunately, decisions made by the previous administration and the current board majority have shifted that ratio from 89:11 to its current 93:7. This change has occurred despite strong opposition from the Waxhaw Wall Commissioners and the broader community, who have repeatedly spoken out against the board’s acquiescence to developers.

The Waxhaw Wall is a movement that prioritizes “We The People” over profit-driven interests, ensuring citizens have the voice our Constitution guarantees, rather than being subject to government dictates.

This November, let’s take back control of Waxhaw’s future. Vote for Michael De IULIO, DAN FARRIS, and JOHN GEMIGNANI, leaders who will stand up for the people, practice fiscal responsibility, prioritize commercial growth and infrastructure improvements, and discontinue the push for more high-density residential development that strains our town.
