Incumbent: Goldie Wells
Challengers: Portia Shipman, LaToya Bernice Gathers, Cecile (CC) Crawford
Wells has been in office too long--this is her second stint--and nothing says that she's out of touch more than her opposition to written consent and another demerit is that she and Hightower are both part of Greensboro's Black Misleadership Class.
Gathers is a rare breed as a progressive Republican running this election cycle, and her policies are similar to the other two challengers.
Shipman correctly called out the city's settlement with the Smith Family for what it really was.
Crawford is a part of a progressive organization and her platform on housing and policing puts her over the top. Any one of the three challengers would be preferable to the incumbent, but CC's the best.
