The Chapel Hill Carrboro Chamber of Commerce, in association with EmPOWERment and WCHL, will host a candidate forum for candidates for Chapel Hill Mayoral and Town Council races at Hargraves Community Center.

BREAKING NEWS! Walker Rutherfurd just used his closing statement at the DTH candidate forum to announce his resignation from the race!!!

His statement was thoughtful and mature. He said he would be applying for the Chapel Hill Tech Advisory Board. Well done.
