What do candidates for Raleigh mayor and city council have to say about climate change and our neighbors with the fewest financial resources to adapt? The City of Raleigh will hold elections for mayor and city council on Tuesday, October 10. CUCC's Justice in a Changing Climate Task Force asked Raleigh candidates the following question:
"As you help Raleigh adapt to climate change, what do you plan to do to make sure our residents with the fewest financial resources aren’t left behind? Some of the expected effects of climate change are extremes of heat, asthma and heart issues, and storm intensity throughout the year."
We contacted all candidates for Mayor, City Council At-Large, and City Council District E.* Candidate responses are copied in their entirety from their email to us.**
