NC Elections Are Coming Up On Nov 4!

Big decisions about housing start locally.

Every city council vote, zoning ordinance, and infrastructure plan shapes where—and whether—new homes get built. Your mayor and council aren’t just deciding what your community looks like today; they’re shaping who can afford to live there tomorrow.

So yes, housing is a campaign issue.

Why Housing Belongs on Every Ballot

North Carolina faces one of its largest housing shortages in decades. While costs rise and supply falls short, the most impactful housing decisions are often made close to home.

• Zoning, permitting, and infrastructure are decided by local elected officials.

• Without leaders who prioritize housing, affordability and access continue to slip further out of reach.

If we want to fix housing, we have to start by electing people who understand the problem—and are ready to act.

What Voters Should Ask Candidates

When candidates knock on your door or speak at local forums, ask them:

• How will you make it easier to build affordable homes?

• What’s your plan for renters and first-time homebuyers?

• Will you support ADUs and more housing choices in our neighborhoods?

These are the questions that turn campaign promises into real housing solutions.
