Sifting through resumes and finding the best candidate is never easy. There are many good people, but rarely do you find a charismatic leader with a strong vision and long-term commitment. Sammy Slade is that candidate. In meeting after meeting about local businesses, sustainability or transportation, Sammy has been vocal but never dogmatic, opinionated but always receptive to the opinions of others. In our discussions on Smith Level Road and the comprehensive bicycle plan, Sammy spoke in an unassuming and gentle manner, but with a clear vision about our community’s future. This is exactly what Carrboro needs. And this is why I strongly support Sammy Slade for the board of aldermen.
