There will be at least three candidates on the ballot for Chapel Hill Mayor this year: incumbent Mark Kleinschmidt, former Chapel Hill Town Council candidate Gary Kahn, and former Orange County Commissioner and CHCCS Board member Pam Hemminger.

Kahn announced he was running earlier this spring, but Hemminger had not announced her bid publicly before filing to run on Monday. She says she was motivated partly by concerns over the direction of Chapel Hill’s development decisions – and partly by her concern that the town wasn’t doing its part to help the Rogers Road community.

Pam Hemminger spoke Wednesday with WCHL’s Aaron Keck.

 

The filing period for local elections runs through Friday, July 17. Election Day is November 3.
