Subject: Local elections

As Election Day approaches, we will be inundated with news about the candidates running for office in North Carolina. News coverage for local races such as school board and county commissioner is not as readily available. For this reason, it is incumbent on each of us to do our own homework in order to make an informed decision.

Fortunately, we have access to the candidates, and are able to obtain information directly and unfiltered. I encourage everyone, regardless of party affiliation, to read the platforms of all candidates and to ask questions.

Subject: Last chance to view Chatham label quilt

A unique quilt fashioned from labels made in Chatham Mills makes its final summer showing on Sunday, September 5, between 1 and 3 p.m., at Pittsboro’s First Sunday. The well-used quilt, probably made in the 1940s, will be on display in the Chatham Historical Museum, 184 East Street, one and a half blocks east of the courthouse circle.

Subject: Elizabeth Haddix Withdraws from Chatham School Board Race

Although you may still see my name on the ballot this fall, I have withdrawn from the Chatham School Board election due to an exciting and very time consuming life change: I’ve accepted the Staff Attorney position at UNC School of Law’s Center for Civil Rights. This new position involves litigation and collaboration with community groups and organizations to ensure fair access to quality public education for all children.
