Abstract:

Avery Upchurch’s third term as mayor of Raleigh could be the last time he serves in office with little or no opposition. When it comes to growth and development issues, he is at odds with most of the council. While Upchurch is interested in high-quality development, he worries that too many government relations will keep Raleigh from blossoming into a major Southeastern city.

Abstract:

As the city of Raleigh changes from increased growth and a changing population, this is reflected in the candidates for the upcoming elections for the city’s mayor. Avery Upchurch is currently mayor, is 60 years old, a gas station owner, and was raised on a tobacco farm. Charles Meeker is running against Upchurch, is 39 years old, a lawyer, and son of a U.S. ambassador. Upchurch is for keeping things the way they are and Meeker is seeking change. The two candidates reflect Raleigh’s past and present and have voters excited for the upcoming election.
