LETTER: Vote Coleman, Lavelle and Johnson

Posted on November 3, 2011 by Staff

I look forward to voting for Dan Coleman and Lydia Lavelle for reelection to the Carrboro Board of Aldermen, and for Michelle Johnson to join them.
Four years ago, I supported Dan because he had quickly proven himself to be a well-prepared, thoughtful alderman whose commitment to progressive policy-making and extensive experience with local issues promised to bring Carrboro closer to homegrown sustainability. He hasn’t disappointed. It is hard to imagine the board now without the understanding and creativity Dan brings to its decision-making.
Lydia Lavelle is also the right choice for reelection. Shortly after becoming a Carrboro resident, Lydia jumped in as an energetic, constructive board member. In addition to serving on the board of the visitors bureau and as liaison to the planning board, she has become a valuable advocate for the town’s local and regional transportation interests, including chairing the regional transportation advisory committee of elected officials from Orange and Durham counties. Lydia knows that strong transportation planning promotes economic and environmental sustainability.
Michelle Johnson will make an important addition to the team. Like Dan and Lydia, she seeks out opportunities to study the issues. Michelle’s campaign itself has stressed the importance of listening to and learning from the many voices in our community. Her experience as a social worker, artist and social justice activist will also bring a unique perspective to the board.
Please join me in supporting Coleman, Lavelle and Johnson for Carrboro.
