Meet the 2019 Durham City Candidates

In 2019, there are 10 candidates running for at-large City Council seats and 2 candidates running for Mayor. Because of the number of candidates for City Council, Durham must hold a primary election on October 8, 2019 so voters can choose 6 candidates to be on the November 5th general election ballot.  In November, voters will be able to vote for 3 of the 6 remaining candidates to serve on the City Council and for 1 of the 2 mayoral candidates.

Candidates for Mayor

"I have lived here for 50 years. My wife, Lao Rubert, and I have two wonderful boys, both of whom got a great education in Durham Public Schools. When I was young, the message of social justice that my family took from our Judaism led me to the Civil Rights Movement, and that involvement has informed my life’s work ever since."
