With election filing under a month away, announcements are coming in from local candidates. Just this morning, Carrboro mayor Lydia Lavelle announced she will be seeking re-election. Earlier this week, Michael Parker, a health care consultant and Chapel Hill Planning Commission member, announced he will run for Chapel Hill Town Council this fall. (Parker also applied for the seat vacated by former Council member Matt Czajkowski.)
Chapel Hill Town Council members Lee Storrow and Donna Bell confirmed earlier this year that they will also seek re-election. Council member Jim Ward has also indicated he will likely seek re-election as well.
Have you heard of any other potential candidates or any other candidates who are seeking office this year? Or is there anyone you would like to see run? Let us know in the comments.

School Board member Annetta Streater announces re-election bid
I am pleased to announce my candidacy for re-election to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education. For the past 8 years, I have had the honor and privilege of serving the children of this district. I value all children and I’m excited about tackling current issues facing the district. I bring a thoughtful voice to the boardroom, one that ensures that all families are considered when decisions are made.
This district has seen substantial growth since 2006 with the opening of three schools, the high school designation of our alternative program Phoenix Academy, and the opening of our first magnet dual language school, just to name a few. Equally impressive is that our district has one of the lowest dropout rates in the state, continuing to improve its efforts to positively engage students.
During my tenure on the Board, I have advocated for ALL children. If re-elected, I will continue supporting efforts that bring meaningful professional development to our teachers and that raise academic achievement for all children. I will also work to ensure that our children have a safe environment in which to learn and grow.
Join me in supporting our schools. Let me know your concerns. Together we can make Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools the best they can be!
Regards,
Annetta
