One of the things I’m reminded of each week is that Councilmembers are neighbors first. You’ll find us “out and about” in an official capacity, but more often, we’re just residents enjoying everything Cary has to offer.
This week, I had the pleasure of visiting Green Hope High to work with students on a political campaign project, and it was an honor to be part of their learning. Just as meaningful were some everyday moments. Spending time in our beautiful town alongside neighbors, catching tennis matches and baseball games. And especially enjoying an NC Courage match in a packed stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park, a reminder of just how special it is to have a venue like that in Cary.
I hope to see you out in the community soon! Whether it’s at a game, on a greenway, or at a local event, these are some of the best opportunities to connect and get to know one another.
