A decade of luxury apartment building and clearcutting our tree canopy for project after project – and millions of taxpayer dollars wasted on expensive “development” consultants. Ephesus Church Rd/15-501:
A decade of structural deficits resulting in a town budget not able to even support building a desperately needed new police station as our current building falls apart with unfixable water leaks even in our electronics and records rooms. Photos from inside our police station:
Absolutely critical to vote for the New Leadership/New Vision team running with me so we have enough new voices committed to change:
I’ve teamed up with four of your neighbors, the amazing candidates who decided to join me in their runs for Town Council: Elizabeth Sharp, Breckany Eckhardt, David Adams and Renuka Soll. We decided to join together because we need a majority of votes on the Council to make change happen.

Let’s make Chapel Hill a modern college town:
We want to build a modern college town and not continue turning Chapel Hill into one more generic urban municipality of high-rise luxury apartment complexes and seven story glass/concrete office buildings dominating our historic downtown.
What can we do? Here are just a few of our ideas:
- Stop paying millions of taxpayer dollars to consultants and use that money to finally build some of the decade-long project list in our parks plan like new parks, playgrounds, ball courts, and more.
- Bring UNC to the table to help tackle our affordable housing needs in a big way. We should partner with other UNC system towns like Wilmington, Boone, and Greensboro to propose a statewide town/gown solution to the governing boards and the legislature for new staff, faculty and student housing that benefits UNC communities across North Carolina.
- Balance our housing development and supercharge equity-focused recreation and green space access through use of innovative, cost-effective solutions already working in other communities, like natural surface trail projects.
