Do you have children in the district? If so, explain. Yes. My husband and I, married, 25 years, we have three children, three daughters, all products of Wake County public school systems.

Brent Laurenz is the executive director of the North Carolina Center for Voter Education. Raleigh city elections are right around the corner on Oct. 8. Of course, these off-year municipal contests don’t garner as much interest as a presidential or gubernatorial race, but every two years the citizens of Raleigh go to the polls and elect the city’s next crop of leaders. In 2013, as in every odd-numbered year, Raleigh voters will be casting ballots for mayor, their City Councilor and two at-large Council members elected citywide.
