The NC weather couldn’t have been better and attendees had some really great questions of council candidates and electeds that attended.

What do I mean by transportation…

This moment felt like a big deal in the work I’ve been doing since January to research and educate myself on how I can make positive change in my community.
I support ONE Wake
I had the opportunity to meet with ONE Wake last week for both an internal assembly with more than 150 attendees, and a one-on-one conversation with leadership to learn more about this crucial organization working in our community. They commented that housing affordability is going to be THE issue in the upcoming election and that they are pushing for a Penny Tax for Cary.
