Chapel Hill has all the fun - at least in 2013 municipal races

In spite of the Orange County Board of Elections best attempts to stop anyone from doing this (see original PDF) I have copied the list of candiates and reformatted it into a vaguely readable list. If possible I will clean this up in a few days.

Most of these candidates will be joining us at our annual Candidate Coming Out Party today at 5:30 pm in downtown Chapel Hill, and I hope you will join us too. See all the details and RSVP on Facebook.

The Chapel Hill Town Council race will be where the party is. There are 10 candiates running for four seats, and only two incumbents.I expect the challengers have some pretty smart and interesting things to say, and some of them even have experience with local issues. For some voters, there are will be hard decisions, for some there will be clear favorites.

It's also very interesting that both our incumbent Hillsborough and Chapel Hill mayors and the unofficially-annointed challenger in Carrboro will all be running unopposed. When Lydia Lavelle takes office in December, I belive that we might be the only county in the nation with two openly-gay mayors! (Can someone fact-check me on that?)

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Board, Carrboro Board of Aldermen, and Hillsborough Board of Town Commissioners also mustered more candidates than seats so there will be competitive races there.

Hi, just to let you know, my new address is 611 Hillsborough Street, Apt. 1, Chapel Hill, NC 27514A Piece of the Future - D.C. Swinton

Thanks, D.C. We use whatever data is published by the County Board of Elections, so you may want to update them as well if you haven't already. 

I'm sure it goes without saying and that you'd do this anyway, but to post it as a PSA anyway - be sure you update not just your information in their candidate spreadsheet but also your voter registration. I wouldn't count on being able to register a change of address at early voting anymore thanks to our back assward General Assembly.

I have replied and will attend all scheduled town council debates. gary kahn
