Alamance County has changed..

Except the historical make up of the board of commissioners.

Historically, a disproportionately high share of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners have resided in west Burlington. This has resulted in limited or no representation for the majority of Alamance County residents, with the board not reflecting the county’s diverse population.

Our volunteers live and vote in Alamance County

“Our board of commissioners should reflect our diverse community.”

Much of the county is not aware that they don't have district specific representation on the board of commissioners.

“It's our mission to inform the Alamance voter”

In my experience, I’ve found most residents do not know who the County Commissioners are, what they do or how they are elected.
