I met Sammy Slade when I took my daughter to a community event at the Carrboro Greenspace. I also met his mother, who had raised four children here. Slade has faced the challenges that gentrification brought to long-term residents living in our area. His work with the Living Economy Task Force shows his dedication to a strong local economy that preserves not only the integrity of the environment but also the integrity of the community. Slade is an innovative thinker who collaborates well with others to bring projects to fruition. As well as serving on the advisory council, Slade stays informed about the work of the current board. He would be a knowledgeable and constructive addition to the board of aldermen, and I look forward to voting for him.
