Koopman is down to earth, seems to realize what really goes on in Raleigh and understands the importance of being a part of the community. While 101 is not part of District B, he seemed to understand the issues that impact downtown Raleigh. He also supports pet friendly establishments.
Thanks Mr. Koopman!

Mr. Sartain has lots of energy for Raleigh and some ideas on how to move forward. There were some interesting conversations about the DRA, R-Line, public transit, sports teams and stadiums. Mix in some economic development and the time flew by.
Thank you Mr. Sartain!

Ted Van Dyk knows his district and is ready to lead. Good conversation about development throughout Raleigh, public transit and Dorthea Dix.
Thank you Mr. Van Dyk!
