I live in Chapel Hill and own a business in Carrboro. With a foot in both communities, I want to express my support for Mark Chilton and Mark Kleinschmidt for mayor of our two towns. In my experiences with Mayor Chilton, I’ve found him to be a great leader who has one eye on the future while maintaining a keen understanding of and respect for the core and history of Carrboro. Chapel Hill has a critically important decision to make at this election and I put my support squarely in Mark Kleinschmidt’s camp. He best represents Chapel Hill’s proud heritage and is the right person to lead us over the next term as we look to revive our downtown while keeping true to our social beliefs and responsibilities. Both towns face challenges. Both towns need to navigate the path of growth. Each town needs to preserve and protect the best of its history and character. Mark Chilton and Mark Kleinschmidt are both, in my opinion, best positioned to help us succeed in all of these areas. While I can only vote in Chapel Hill, I will root for both come Election Day.
