Good morning, readers.
In Cary, as in municipalities across the Triangle, local elections for the town council are officially nonpartisan. But this election cycle, the three town council races on voters’ ballots—in District A, District C, and at large—have lined up neatly along partisan lines, with one Democrat and one Republican running in each, and all candidates endorsed by their respective county parties.
The races feature a mix of newcomers to Cary politics and incumbents fighting to hold onto their seats, and in a politically diverse town where more than half of registered voters are unaffiliated, there are no clear frontrunners. Still, many of the candidates overlap on the issues as they make their pitches to voters on how to balance spending on town services, infrastructure, and public safety without having to drastically increase the town’s tax rate—currently one of the lowest in the county.
The INDY spoke with five out of the six of the candidates running for town council about their priorities, background, and vision for Cary for a municipal election preview. Early voting starts next Thursday and Election Day is November 4.
