As I vote for Sharon Cook for Carrboro alderman, her qualities of solid integrity, persistence, fair-mindedness, common sense, intolerance of injustice and environmental awareness come to mind.
As a planning board member, she knows that the decisions made by our town boards ultimately affect each of our neighborhoods, as well as our schools. As a proponent of the construction of a traffic light and sidewalks along Homestead Road, she worked for years with government officials for its completion.
When Sharon advocated with Rogers Road residents against the placement of yet another garbage facility next to them, she showed herself to be a community activist in the best sense of the word.
Carrboro needs Sharon Cook, who seeks office not for personal political gain, but rather for the betterment of all of Carrboro.
