My name is Jane Campbell and I am running for re-election to the Davidson Town Board. I am a Davidson College graduate and retired Navy Officer. I'm running for re-election because I believe in public service. I have been honored to serve on the board for the past two years and ask the voters in Davidson to allow me to represent them for another two years.
Available, Affordable Housing - At roughly the same time that a recent survey declared that Davidson was the wealthiest community in North Carolina data from another study revealed that 25% of our population have incomes under $50,000. Our community has done a lot to support affordable housing, but we can't rest on past efforts. We must develop a new and comprehensive housing strategy that will do the most for our neighbors in need. There is no single solution. We must work to allow seniors to remain in their own homes, we must increase our inventory of affordable rental properties, as well as affordable homes to buy.
All politics is local, and it doesn't get much more local than our small town. However, we are the first level of government called upon to support our citizens.
I have a number of mentors who are compassionate leaders. Throughout my Navy career I was lucky enough to work for some terrific leaders - from all branches of the military. I also saw examples of toxic leadership. Thankfully good leadership far-outnumbered toxic.
Acknowledging that elected office is public service. It is about representing the people. At times, it can require you to make hard decisions between what you believe is the ethical thing to do and what some people want you to do. If and when you ever opt to set aside the ethical option - that's when you know it is time to go.
Listening to all the residents of Davidson, and be willing to put in a lot of time to the position. It requires a lot more time than two board meetings a month.
I would like to help maintain the small college town character of Davidson, while improving the "affordable living" in our town.
The moon landing. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. I was 4.
I mowed lawns throughout middle and high school. It taught me the value of good, hard work. (Roughly 7 years)
Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation - because I have had the incredible opportunity to get to know so many WWII veterans.
There are probably more that we don't hold that people think we do. North Carolina is a Dillon's Rule state, and the General Assembly determines the authorities given to municipalities.
I believe it is helpful to be familiar with various aspects of our town. I highly recommend participating in the Civics 101 class or serving on one of our standing boards.
Individuals must be willing to seek consensus among colleagues to get things done. Listening is probably the #1 skill required.

2016

Campbell's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

  • I believe that ALL North Carolinians are created EQUAL.
  • I believe that EVERY child in North Carolina deserves a world-class education.
  • I do NOT believe that we should be legislating discrimination.
  • I believe that we can and must create jobs and grow our economy – and we will do that by moving our state forward, not backward.
  • I believe that ALL North Carolinians should have access to quality, affordable health care.
  • I believe that our legislators should be good stewards of our taxpayer dollars.
  • I believe in the democratic process – and that means having at least two names on the ballot. Voters should have a choice, and must be able to hold lawmakers accountable.
  • I believe in empowering, not disenfranchising voters.[7]
—Jane Campbell[8]
