  • Janet is running for Mayor because she knows we need a Raleigh that works together for everyone. To achieve it we need to strengthen our partnerships with the state and county governments, nonprofits, and the business community to both tackle immediate issues and plan for the future. We need to address issues of housing, planning and growth, environmental protection and resilience, public safety, homelessness, and mental health. Learn more here.

  • Janet will step down as CEO of the Dix Park Conservancy, a 501c3 non-profit, on October 4th. Janet's position - and all Conservancy staff positions - are supported by private donations. The Conservancy receives no money from the City. In fact, since its inception, the Conservancy has gifted the City over $40 million to help construct Gipson Play Plaza, renovate historic buildings at the park for community use, and provide free public programs.

  • No. The Raleigh Mayor and City Council elections are non-partisan. Democratic, Independent, and Republican-candidates will all be listed on the ballot on Tuesday, November 5th.

  • No. The candidate who receives the most votes on November 5th wins. If, for example, there are ten candidates and the vote broke fairly evenly, you could have a mayor elected with only 11% of the vote.

  • In the summer of 2021, the Raleigh City Council voted in closed session to shift its election from odd-years to even-years and eliminate a run-off. The City Council received approval from the General Assembly to make this change. Governor Cooper allowed the bill to become law without signing it issuing a statement: “decisions about local elections like these should involve more open discussion and public input and therefore these changes will become law without my signature.”
