Greensboro District 1

Incumbent: Sharon Hightower
Challengers: Devin King, Paula Ritter-Lipscomb
Withdrawn: Charles Patton, Jr.

There's a sense from this post that Hightower has let her Southeast Greensboro community down even though she's only been in office for four years after a 10 year run by Dianne Bellamy-Small.

Her first opponent, Devin King, advanced to the second round of the 2015 mayoral race--only to garner a minuscule 12 percent. How he thinks his conservative philosophy lines up with the concerns of the district is beyond me.

Hightower's second opponent, Ritter-Lipscomb is the best bet to turn Southeast Greensboro around.
