“In our work together, I've found Jess to be a fierce advocate, practical problem

solver, and effective policymaker who consistently acts with integrity. Even when

we didn't agree, she worked collaboratively with me and others to get the best

outcomes for our entire community, which is why she has my full support."

for everyone."

Karen Stegman

“I’ve lived in Chapel Hill for over 40 years, and have followed local politics closely

even before joining the school board. Jess clearly has the vision, skills and

enthusiasm to lead our town into the future. I look forward to continued work with

her on doing what’s best for all of our children.”

"With Jess on council, our government has gotten smarter. Better planning,

better budgeting and better policymaking. She'll be a great leader to take us

forward into the future."

Amy Ryan

Chapel Hill Town Council

“Jess is a thoughtful, hard-working and collaborative leader for Chapel Hill. We

worked together on the Library Funding Task Force, where we were able to come

to a unanimously approved recommendation — despite many years of failed

collaboration efforts by previous stakeholders. Jess not only fights for the best

interests of Chapel Hill, but she’s able to do so in a way that keeps partners

engaged and cooperative.”

Amy Fowler, M.D.

Orange County Board of County Commissioners

"Jess has served our town council for nearly eight years with thoughtful analysis

and careful consideration of both intended and unintended consequences. She

prioritizes the needs of children, seniors, the homeless and other special

populations while being transparent and inclusive. I enthusiastically endorse

Jess Anderson for mayor."

Jamezetta Bedford

Chair, Orange County Board of County Commissioners

"I am pleased to endorse Jess Anderson for mayor! We’ve had our differences,

but I respect Jess’s hard work and dedication. She understands the issues and 

the challenges we face.  As mayor, Jess will be a champion for the future of our

town, moving the Complete Community initiative forward alongside her colleagues. 

Jess Anderson for mayor is the only choice!"

Paris Miller-Foushee

Chapel Hill Town Council

"Serving on council is tough. It takes collaborative problem-solving and

building bridges with those you don't always agree with to be effective.

Working with Jess on the town council, I've seen her ability to collaborate

to create community-centered solutions. Even when we didn't agree, we

were able to work together to move our community forward. Jess for mayor

is the right choice for a more just, inclusive Chapel Hill. Her professional

background in policy is a nice bonus!"

Tai Huynh

Chapel Hill Town Council

"I'm pleased to endorse Jess Anderson for mayor. Over the past seven-and-a-half

years, I've had the opportunity to see first hand Jess's work ethic and her

commitment to fact-based decision-making. While we have not always agreed,

I've never doubted Jess's commitment to building a better Chapel Hill for all.

She's focused on what Chapel Hill can be not what Chapel Hill once was.

There is only one rational choice for mayor of Chapel Hill and that is Jess Anderson."

Michael Parker

Chapel Hill Town Council
