Dr. Amy Fowler has announced her candidacy for Chapel Hill Carrboro City School Board.
I love Chapel Hill, its beautiful tree-lined avenues, its festivals and celebrations, its Tar Heel pride and progressive, forward-thinking residents. I am seeking a second term on the Chapel Hill Town Council because I believe even a great community can be better. I believe we can make Chapel Hill better than it’s ever been.
The candidate filing period for the 2017 local elections began on Friday, July 7th, and will end at noon on Friday, July 21st. Here's what's in store for this year's elections.
Candidates began jumping into the 2017 election Friday, the first official filing day.
Current Chairman James Barrett filed for re-election today to the Chapel Hill/Carrboro City Schools Board of Education, saying he looks forward to one more term to continue the district’s efforts to give every student an excellent education.
My name is Allen Buansi, and I would like share with you all the announcement of my candidacy below for Chapel Hill Town Council. I'm greatly looking forward to meeting and talking to as many fellow Chapel Hill residents as I can. Please don't hesitate to check out my website (allenbuansi.org) or to reach out to me (info@allenbuansi.org). I would love to hear from each of you, so we can make Chapel Hill the best community it can be. Thank you!
