Our endorsement rationale:
The above slate of candidates includes a good mix of council experience and fresh ideas for how to reclaim citizen engagement through Citizen Advisory Councils and once again have transparent government. We may not agree with every aspect of their candidacy or stance on issues, but they are sensible people with good judgement who are not controlled by development interests. We believe we can work with them to REPEAL the Missing Middle, and RESTORE RALEIGH ZONING.
Foremost: The Mayor and all incumbents running for re-election do not deserve to be elected and should forfeit their city council seats. They have betrayed Raleigh by shutting down citizen input. They have promoted runaway growth by handing unfettered power to developers. They have taken away our property rights to public notice, public hearings, and appeals on zoning matters. And they have arrogantly maintained they and their experts know best. The only way to change these zoning rules is to replace Mayor Baldwin and her council followers.
Please VOTE for the Mayor, 2 At-Large and Candidate in your District. Every district ballot is different so take this list with you and look for their names on the back of the ballot.
