Raleigh Voters Will Choose New Mayor
Voters in Raleigh will help choose a new mayor at the polls tomorrow.
Jessica Jones: Raleigh's current mayor, Charles Meeker, is stepping down after five terms in office. A pharmacist named Nancy McFarlane who's a member of the city council has Meeker's official stamp of approval. She's also an entrepreneur who runs a company that serves clients with chronic illnesses. McFarlane is especially focused on growth and development issues. The other businesswoman in the race is Billie Redmond. She's a real estate executive and community volunteer who's running for elected office for the first time. If elected, Redmond plans to focus on job growth in Raleigh. The third candidate vying to become Raleigh's next mayor is a physician named Randall Williams. He's an ob-gyn who's known for humanitarian work in Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti. Williams says he'd like to keep taxes low and pursue pro-business policies.
