My family grew up with the Slades. Sammy is one of the most sincere and down-to-earth people I know. We are all thrilled that he has decided to run for alderman, not for reasons of self-interest, but because he truly wants to make a difference in a community toward which he has already shown tremendous dedication. Lots of good things are happening in Carrboro, and Sammy Slade has been a part of many of these great initiatives (i.e., co-founder of Carrboro Greenspace, co-founder of the Carrboro Community Garden Coalition, chair of the Local Living Economy Task Force and co-founder of the budding LocalMotive, Carrboro’s community-based business alliance). There are lots of challenges ahead and I believe Sammy Slade is highly qualified to help Carrboro move toward being an even better place.
