Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville mayoral races highlight municipal elections
With towns from A to Z - literally Apex to Zebulon - holding municipal elections across central North Carolina on Tuesday, mayoral races in Raleigh, Durham and Fayetteville get top billing.
Posted — UpdatedWhile McFarlane touts her experience and Raleigh's national stature as a good place for business and families, Francis has taken a populist approach in his campaign, arguing that many neighborhoods in Raleigh are being left behind as the city grows. Affordable housing, accessibility to transit and economic development have been common themes from both camps.
Both Schewel and Ali are campaigning on fighting poverty in Durham through providing more affordable housing and job creation.
Much like the Raleigh runoff, the incumbent Robertson has focused on his experience and Fayetteville's growth under his leadership, while Colvin has emphasized the uneven pace of growth across the city and his ability to collaborate with other groups in Cumberland County.
Hundreds of city and town council races and other mayoral positions also are up for grabs Tuesday.
