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.

Kleinschmidt is a constitutional attorney; first elected mayor in 2009, he’s running for his fourth two-year term. He says he’s proud of what Chapel Hill has accomplished in the last two years, particularly with regard to inclusivity. But he says there’s still more yet to do, especially around housing – working to ensure that everyone who wants to be in Chapel Hill can find safe, quality, affordable places to live.
