Abstract:

Durham's mayor Chester Jenkins is running for reelection. Jenkins has pledged to keep taxes low and make Durham business friendly, but property taxes have risen under Jenkins. While still seen as business friendly, some argue it has been at the expense of the environment. Regardless, people are lining up to support Jenkins as he is likely to face former Mayor Harry Rodenhizer.
