BUNCOMBE COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 2

I love serving the people of Buncombe County, and I look forward to continuing to lead our community as we work together to conserve our farmland and mountains, strengthen public safety, champion our public schools, and build a stronger future for the next generation.

– Terri Wells

Deep roots, broad vision: this is my story.

From a 9th generation Western North Carolina farmer to Buncombe County Commissioner, working across the aisle and our community to ensure opportunity and a thriving future for all the people of Buncombe County.  

After a career in public education, I returned to my roots to live and farm in the beautiful farming community of Sandy Mush. My husband, Glenn Ratcliff, and I built our home and began stewardship of this land, an ongoing adventure. Glenn and I are ‘89 Clyde A. Erwin High School graduates, and Glenn teaches chemistry at A-B Tech. We are deeply rooted in this community, our home.

Community service has always been a strongly valued tradition in my family. I like to leave anything better than I found it, and I want to inspire our next generation of leaders to build on that. I care about our community, the people, and the place, and I want Buncombe County to be healthy and thriving for future generations.

With my leadership, we have made important strides in:

Connecting communities to high-speed broadband internet, with projects in Leicester, Reems Creek, Ox Creek, North Buncombe, Sandy Mush, Upper Hominy, and more.

Championing our public schools with the largest investment in more than a decade.

Conserving our natural resources and family farms with 20% of our land protected to ensure a stronger future and more than 1000 farms, we are leading the way in NC in land conservation and supporting our family farmers.

Strengthening public safety and emergency services with the necessary resources to keep our communities safe.

I have a track record of listening to and working with people to accomplish shared goals, and it would be my honor to continue to put my values and skills to work for all the people of Buncombe County as your District 2 Commissioner.
