Councilmember Kristi Pfeufer is serving her first term representing Ward Two on the Statesville City Council. A longtime Statesville resident, Pfeufer brings more than three decades of professional experience in real estate, community involvement, and local planning to her role. After graduating from North Iredell High School in 1988, she earned her North Carolina real estate license and attended UNC Charlotte. Her early career included working in her grandparents’ business before beginning her long tenure in real estate. Over the years, she has served as a sales associate, broker, office manager, and broker-in-charge for local real estate firms, earning multiple professional recognitions, including Top Selling Agent, Top Listing Agent, Top Producing Agent, and Iredell County Realtor of the Year.
Pfeufer has an extensive record of public service and community leadership. She has served on the Iredell County Planning Board since 2003 and currently serves as its chairman. Her service also includes the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association, where she served as an Iredell Director; the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, where she served as Chairman of the Board in 2021; and recognition as the Chamber’s Ambassador of the Year. She has also served in leadership roles with numerous civic and community organizations.
Pfeufer was inspired to run for City Council by her desire to see local government bring practical, meaningful solutions to residents – focusing on balanced growth, affordable housing, safer neighborhoods, small business support, and transparent leadership. She is committed to planning for moderate, responsible growth that supports Statesville’s infrastructure and long-term needs.
She views her role on Council as a bridge between residents, city staff, and elected leadership. Pfeufer aims to strengthen communication, improve access to information, and encourage teamwork across the organization. She stays connected with the community by attending neighborhood meetings, participating in local events, and maintaining an open-door, open-phone approach to constituent concerns.
Pfeufer has lived in Statesville since 1979 and values the spirit, resilience, and caring nature of the community she serves. Outside of public service, she enjoys traveling, camping, fishing, and spending time with her family.
