Endorsement Letter: Harrison for council, Kleinschmidt for mayor

Posted on October 29, 2009 by Staff

Vote to return Ed Harrison to town council!

Ed is a true ally of citizen-responsive local government. He listens carefully and acts upon the concerns of neighborhoods, citizen advisory boards, local businesses and the university community. Ed works well with other council members and does not posture. When he speaks, it is with the force of his collective experience with individuals and with deep environmental and transportation knowledge. Ed attends meetings of neighbors and follows up with people after meetings. He walks and bikes around town. He spends time thoroughly evaluating public records and peoples’ ideas. Ed’s commitment to Chapel Hill is proven and his value to constructive dialogue and decision-making are well documented. Vote for Ed!

For Chapel Hill mayor, Mark Kleinschmidt. There is no more sensible choice. Just as Mark’s convictions led him to professionally pursue justice law, his convictions led him to serve on the town council for eight years. He is in it for the right reasons! Kleinschmidt represents the tradition of Chapel Hill for progressive, accessible and democratic local government. While other candidates spend tons of money for a small local election, Mark runs his campaign on principle and example: He demonstrates that local representation should not become the exclusive province of the wealthy or leisure class. Mark works well with other council members. He does not belabor points or posture to achieve recognition. Rather, he reasons and debates with other members to lead on a wide variety of growth and development decisions for the town. While there are good, intelligent candidates in the race for mayor, none are more sensible than Mark Kleinschmidt.
