Meet Lee Sartain, City Council aspirant
He's running for Raleigh City Council at-large.
Good-looking website.
He'll tweet you if you let him.
The mayor and two council seats are elected at-large; the other five council members are elected from districts. The at-large incumbents are Russ Stephenson and Mary-Ann Baldwin, both Democrats. They're both running for re-election. A Republican, Champ Claris, announced his candidacy recently. Sartain didn't list a party affiliation (city elections are officially nonpartisan); I'm looking for his voter affiliation on the State Board of Elections website. (Update: Just talked with him; Sartain is a registered voter -- actual first name Ricky, but goes by Lee -- and a Democrat.)
The election is in October. Filing starts next month.

i am happy to see such young man involved in politics in our city-there is a councilman in Raleigh that needs to be pushed out of the system he is a scam bag. do you have anything that we can put in our yard to advertise? Broken English?!!!! I have been here for 20 years and still learning...I have two voters ate home.
your link for champ claris takes the reader to Russ Stephenson's site. How about posting a link that goes out to the RSS feed for Champ now. (BG: Corrected, Patrick. Thanks.) thanks Patrick
