Current Ward 2 Town Council Representative
It is time to turn the reigns of local government in Ward 2 over to accomplished young business leaders like Stephen Arnold, who have a long-term stake in the future of Hilton Head Island. Please join me with enthusiasm in support of Stephen Arnold for Town Council Ward 2.
Jerry W. Cutrer
Former Hilton Head Plantation POA Board Member and President
I believe Stephen Arnold is best qualified to represent our community. I have met personally with Stephen and find him invested in the long-term success of our Island home. He is a young, energetic local businessman, a father of school-age children, a fourteen year resident of Hilton Head Island, and has lived in HHP for eight years. I believe he is the right voice for HHP and our Town and strongly endorse Stephen Arnold for Town Council Ward 2 in the November election.

Ward 2 & Hilton Head Plantation Neighbor
I really like the important fresh perspective that Stephen will bring to Town Council as a capable business manager and husband of a teacher. Together, they are raising their family here - the future of the Island. His stances on significant issues - housing, the bridges, and keeping Hilton Head vibrant and resilient - are smart and practical. Stephen Arnold is a man of character who will represent us well - he has my vote for Ward 2 on November 8

As an HHP neighbor of over seven years, with three children in the Beaufort County school system, I strongly support Stephen Arnold for Hilton Head Island Town Council. In his 14 years on the island, he has ingrained himself into multiple aspects of the community and truly has a unique understanding of the needs of the island. He is hardworking, honest, and fair and I have no doubt that Stephen is the voice we need to help our community evolve into the best island it can be!

Ward 2 Neighbors
Stephen Armold is well-rounded and well-equipped to represent everyone from Ward 2 and beyond on HHI Town Council. We've known him as an employee of one of the largest companies on the Island and as an entrepreneur running his own small business, an early-morning basketballer and a late-night music maker, a public servant, a family man, and everything in between. In all these roles he's friendly, outgoing, passionate, and open-minded. We'll be voting Arnold on November 8!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Stephen Arnold and his wife five years ago as we were beginning our journeys into parenthood. Like his approach as a father, Stephen is an active participant in our community who consistently sets and achieves his goals. His passion for strengthening our island will always get my vote.

It came as no surprise that Stephen decided to run for Town Council. If you spend any time with Stephen you know about his passion for Hilton Head Island. His affection for this community is contagious and can be seen in his work, social and family life. I have known Stephen for many years, but I still remember when we first met being impressed by his drive, humility, and his intelligence. As a born leader he asks the right questions, loves solving problems, and stays true to who he is and to his vision. Over the years, our families have become close and I am hopeful that his voice will be able to represent families like ours on Town Council. Stephen’s strong family values paired with his understanding of this dynamic community makes him the ideal candidate to represent all residents of Hilton Head Island!

I met Stephen three years ago while visiting Hilton Head for the first time. Now as my family prepares to buy a home on Hilton Head Island, I have had the opportunity to get to know Stephen. He has been a model ambassador for what the Island represents when it comes to sharing the Island with visitors from near and far. His passion for the Island’s overall success is genuine. He takes the time to express pride in the community. He makes visitors want to return as often as possible. I have been in public service for 42 years and I know firsthand the value of investing in true leadership. A vote for Stephen Arnold would be a GREAT investment in Island's future.

I have known Stephen Arnold for several years now and he is a stand up guy who has always had a vision for making Hilton Head a better place. He shares many of the visions that our younger community share. He is well respected for his character and work ethic. I have zero doubt he will represent our island well!
Samm Wolfe
Ward 2 Neighbor & Arthur Hills General Manager
In 2008 I hired Stephen Arnold to become a member of our staff at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. From his first day on the job Stephen showed his dedication to excellence and his willingness to be a team player. Stephen is a natural leader due to his ability to think through situations and come to a positive and creative solution. He is an excellent communicator, and he has always been willing to listen to all viewpoints. I have watched his career grow through the years and as a 23-year resident of Ward 2 I am excited that he is running to represent not only those behind the gates of Hilton Head Plantation, but also those like me living outside of a gated community.

Michael Marks
20 Year Hilton Head Resident
I enthusiastically support Stephen Arnold for Ward 2. Town Council would greatly benefit from his ongoing service industry experience and knowledge. His unique understanding of the challenges the Island faces with sustaining a steady workforce, and the need for affordable housing is an asset to every Island resident. Equally important is his commitment to and support of HHI’s Arts and Cultural assets.

Whitney and I have known Stephen for 20 years. Stephen and Holly are the reason we moved to Hilton Head over 7 years ago. Whitney is a small business owner, and it’s critical to have the right people advocate for all business owners to thrive.

I’ve had the fortunate opportunity to know Stephen and his family for nearly 10 years. He is a family man first built on integrity and honesty. He cares deeply for our business community, our local community, and most important to me personally….the youth of our community. I have never seen Stephen without a smile on his face and would be honored for him to represent us in Ward 2.
