We came up short, but I’m grateful for every ballot cast to move Raleigh forward. And forward is where we must go, together.
My thanks go out to every voter whose participation keeps our democracy vibrant, and to every election official who ensured a free and fair election.
I’ve contacted Mary Black to say we’re rooting for all those elected tonight to meet this critical moment for our city. Raleigh needs housing affordability, ethics reform, stronger infrastructure, and better pay for emergency responders. That’s why I ran. 1/2 #ralpol
Tell your friends!
In District A, “Cat Lawson” is the very last name on the ballot. Easy to find. The indisputably best option for the district!

While I live outside these districts, I recommend the following candidates in the other Raleigh districts.
District A: @catlawson
District B: @LeeforRaleigh
District C: @Corey4DistrictC
District E: @KnightforRal
And if you don’t already know that @CheriBeasleyNC is a delightful human who deserves your vote for next NC Senator, you should listen to our chat from back in 2020. She’s sincerely amazing. https://t.co/V4vqZxsDrd
“One of the strangest phenomenons I’ve experienced since I’ve been on council is how the people with housing have convinced the people without housing that the people who build housing are the problem.”
