I’m running for Cary Town Council because this is home, and I believe we can make Cary an even better place to live, work, and raise a family. One of my key strengths is the ability to bring fresh eyes and vision to our town. And I’ll do that by listening more, speaking on the opportunities I’m passionate about, and working to find common ground with everyone I meet. Elect Amanda Murphy for Cary Town Council. I will work for you.
Why do I feel called to public service? When I was 10 years old, I was passionate about equality and confused about the injustices in the world. I’ve been involved in creating positive change for years, (Cary 101 citizen’s college, Triangle Woman of the Year campaign for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Leadership Raleigh Alumni Board, and Board member of North Carolina Community Garden Partners) and I’m eager to do more. Today, I‘m ready to put my skills and heart into policy-making that serves ALL the people in our community.

Adelangela – yes, I would love to chat. Send me your email through my contact form and I’ll respond right away, here is the link to the form: https://electamandamurphy.com/contact/. If you are most interested in education, you might want to also reach out to the Wake County Public School System school board, their contact information is located here: https://www.wcpss.net/schoolboard. The town council doesn’t deal with education, specifically, but I do have two children in WCPSS so I’d be happy to discuss.

Amanda is bothering to walk neighborhoods. We had a very engaged discussion of issues, this afternoon. Lot of agreement. What we like best is the prospect of someone representing young families. Someone like Amanda to prioritize those things that are important to the youthful influx into our community.
