Cary, NC — On Monday, July 6, 2015, Cary Mayor Harold Weinbrecht and other Town Council incumbents filed for re-election, while two new candidates filed for the open District D seat.

Filing Begins for Cary Elections

In October 2015, citizens will be able to vote for individuals to fill four open seats in Cary’s government. While voting doesn’t begin until fall, candidate filing began Monday, July 6, 2015. Several Cary incumbents and two other candidates have already filed to fill those open seats.

Cary Mayor Harold Weinbrecht and Town Council Members Don Frantz and Lori Bush have all declared their intentions to run for re-election to their current seats.
