Running for Carrboro Town Council
I've been canvassing and making phone calls for Democratic campaigns since 2004, and I've been a precinct secretary. I've also been on the board of two different local nonprofit organizations, the Triangle Linux Users Group (TriLUG), and the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition. Running for elected office is a big step, and I'm new at this, but I think I have a clear picture of both the logistics and the financial reality of what it will take to run and then do the work of a Town Council member.
MeFi has played a significant role in my growth, and today I was reminded that this campaign is worth sharing with y'all. So... feedback welcome.

Role: Candidate for Town Council
Hey, that's great! I'm not in Carrboro, but super excited at the idea of a Mefite getting into local government here in the Triangle. Let me know if I can help with making phone calls or something!

I'm living in Thailand, but still registered to vote in Carrboro. So you'll at least be getting 1 vote!

Today is primary day in my state, and I just got back from voting; a few of my neighbors are running again this year, and it makes me proud to support them.
Good luck!!
