H. Nathan Robinson

for Orange County Commissioner District 2

I offer to represent the rural voice of Orange County.  Most people in rural Orange County are either unaffiliated or Republican. However, the entire Board of Commissioners is Democrat who never have primary runoffs, and no other party representation has occurred in years.

​​​

This is the opposite of valuing diverse perspectives.

​​

Unaffiliated voters are the LARGEST voting group in NC per the latest 2022 data from the N.C. State Board of Elections.  So why are there never any unaffiliated voting options on the ballot?!   Because it's effectively impossible for an unaffiliated person to be listed on the ballot.  I tried in 2022 and it's an unreasonable hurdle.

​

The Republican party asked if I would be willing to be on the ballot in November 2024 to stand for wider perspectives than the pre-selected people on the Democrat ballot.

The number of unaffiliated NC voters = 2,503,997
In contrast, there are:

2,496,434 Democrats
2,192,073 Republicans
48,654 Libertarians.

It best serves Orange County voters to have a variety of people on the Board, in order for authentic representation to be brought into decisions. 

Currently there are only Democrats on the Orange County Commissioners Board. Nathan is the only non-Democrat.

What I stand for...

Rural neighbors are integral to the character of Orange County.

​​

The current Board of Commissioners is overly dominated by southern Orange County, at the expense of rural citizens who's land use needs are not appreciated and negatively restricted by rules that serve and enrich southern Orange County residents.

Public-private  partnerships create opportunities for communities to advance. These need to be developed with implementation intention.

​

There is GB speed internet in Chapel Hill. But in rural Orange County most citizens literally can only get

<10MB per sec.

 

​​

 

Taxes inhibit flourishing.

​

Healthy economic development is the best course for Orange County.  Restrictive development approaches unfairly prioritize developers and property owners of urban areas 

 

Tax bonds to continually improve Chapel Hill add a heavy regressive cost to northern rural citizen.

Multi-disciplinary and broad input serves citizens best when leaders are making decisions that impact the entire County. ​

Life perspectives should be valued and represented across the entire County.

 

The northern portions of Orange County have no authentic representation on the Board of Commissioners.

​

This is social injustice.
