Bernadette Pelissier for commissioner

Orange County’s at-large county commissioner should be Bernadette Pelissier. Serving on eight different boards in Orange County in the past 20 years, Pelissier has the experience the county needs.

As plans for Carolina North continue to evolve, Pelissier has been a vocal advocate for ensuring that development will be economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.

As county commissioner, Pelissier would look into new waste technologies and encourage residents to take more responsibility of their waste, including increasing recycling.

Pelissier has invaluable, hands-on experience with budgetary issues from her time serving as a member of the Orange Water And Sewage Authority Board of Directors. Pelissier also wants to increase community involvement by hosting small events and town hall-style meetings on a regular basis to solicit community comments.

Because of her innovative ideas and experience serving in Chapel Hill, Pelissier is the best choice for county commissioner.
