Campaign website
Sullivan's campaign website stated the following:
| “ | Raleigh is an amazing city to call home. Like many large cities, Raleigh is experiencing rapid change and growth, and this presents challenges and opportunities. We have a choice. We can choose to ignore the changes coming in our future, or we can come together to collaborate and create a shared vision to build a Raleigh for all of us.
The problems we face are structural and complex, and no one can solve them alone. Raleigh’s next mayor must have a balanced approach and bring together our great universities, the best community college in the state, innovative companies, strong local governments, tireless non-profits, and hard-working residents to develop solutions that work for everyone. I have a record of leadership bringing together diverse groups and listening to new voices to collaborate and find innovative answers to complex problems.
We live in the greatest city in the country, and it can be the greatest city of tomorrow. If we build Raleigh together, we will ensure a Raleigh for all of us. CREATING VIBRANT, SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES As our city grows and changes, it is imperative that we continue to build a city where all residents are able to live in the communities where they want to live, feel safe in their homes and neighborhoods, and enjoy the thriving arts and outdoor activities that set our city apart. I have a proven record of bringing people together to develop balanced solutions and make progress. But, it will take all of us working together to make sure Raleigh is truly a great home for everyone.
PROVIDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE Putting people first in Raleigh means investing in our residents’ abilities to maximize their potential in a changing economy. From making it easier to help small businesses expand, to supporting working families, to providing more opportunities for youth jobs and apprenticeships, we need to build a city that promotes economic opportunity for all of us.
BUILDING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER Raleigh is growing quickly – and we can either reactively address challenges as they arise, or we can be more intentional and inclusive in planning how we grow. Only with a shared vision and balanced approach can we ensure a bright future for all of us in Raleigh.
