TO THE EDITOR:
I have known Mark Kleinschmidt for more than 10 years. He is a seasoned leader and consensus-builder. During my tenure as chairwoman of the Public Housing Program Advisory Board, I found him to be one of the most informed, hands-on and responsive members of the Town Council.
Kleinschmidt brings an excellent combination of vision, passion, and experience. He will not sideline the values that define Chapel Hill in the name of “being sensible.” Instead, he will provide the leadership we need to ensure that the town is both economically sound and true to its progressive roots.
At stake is Chapel Hill’s hard-fought commitment to civil rights, social justice and environmental stewardship. Fortunately, you don’t have to choose between your values and your wallet. Please join me in voting for Mark Kleinschmidt for mayor of Chapel Hill.
