Chapel Hill Town Council member Camille Berry announced she will seek re-election. If elected, she will serve her second term.

“The desire to continue engaging and partnering with the community, town staff, area agencies, and other government entities drove me to run for re-election,” she told Chapelboro. “I would also like to continue working with the mayor and fellow council members to set policy addressing immediate challenges and opportunities, while having future generations in mind.”

Berry was first elected in 2021, alongside fellow newcomers Paris Miller-Foushee and Adam Searing. She said that the decision to run for town council again was an easy one to make.

During her time on the council, she served as the council liaison the search for a new police headquarters, and she was a speaker at April’s “Hands Off” protest. Recently, she has served as a dissenting voice for various development projects that have made their way through the council, such as a housing project on South Elliot Road. But Berry initially ran on — and maintained — her status as a staunch housing advocate for the community, voting in favor of affordable housing projects like the town’s Legion Road effort and the creation of an affordable housing loan fund with UNC Health.

According to her campaign website, Berry got her start working in the Chapel Hill community by fundraising.

“For nearly seven years, I worked to advance affordable housing opportunities for extremely low to moderate income households right here in Chapel Hill,” her website reads. “I’ve worn many hats here in Chapel Hill: advocate, connector, and neighbor. I would be honored to continue wearing the hat of public servant and your representative on the Chapel Hill Town Council.”

Early voting in Orange County’s municipal elections will begin on Thursday, Oct. 10 and run through Saturday, Nov. 1. Election Day for the 2025 fall cycle will be Tuesday, Nov. 4.
