Candidate Questionnaires - 2026 - Primary

We asked the candidates a series of questions about their policy positions. Links to their responses are here.

Livable Raleigh’s new 2025 citywide poll by Public Policy Polling (PPP) of registered Raleigh voters highlights continuing trends and significant changes since our 2024 PPP poll. You can read the poll here: 2025 Poll Results   

Two key findings include only 14% of registered voters believe Raleigh is doing enough to provide affordable housing. Just 18% of voters think the City Council is “doing enough to keep citizens involved and informed. Both of these changes reflect trends dating from 2020.

Livable Raleigh believes that engaging voters in open and honest dialogue with Council and Mayoral candidates about the issues reflected in this poll and questionnaire is a key to rebuilding trust with voters and producing broadly supported ideas and leaders for Raleigh’s future.

Only the At-Large and District C Races have primaries this year.
