Campaign website
Harrison's campaign website stated the following:
REIMAGINE RALEIGH
I care about you and our city. Let’s work together to invest in our community and help everyone thrive.
I want to reimagine Raleigh with you. I see the potential for a city in which participation is truly inclusive. I see a more balanced future in which we tip the scales in favor of the people and planet.
What do you see?
Community Engagement
All voices should be at the table.
Affordable
Housing
Let’s ensure everyone can call Raleigh home.
Environmental
Stewardship
We must take care of our environment.
PRIORITIES
Community Engagement: City decisions should be community centered. We must recognize the voices of the most affected groups, including historically marginalized communities and impacted neighbors. I served as co-chair of the West Raleigh CAC (Community Advocacy Council), bringing attention to proposed rezonings, land use changes, public safety, and neighbor needs in District D. We need forums like CACs and neighborhood associations to convene across the city, sharing information and developing leadership capacity to bring the best ideas forward. I actively engage with residents about the issues that matter to them most.
Affordable Housing: As the city grows, we can’t leave people behind. I support initiatives to help residents stay in their homes, as well as community benefit agreements for new developments that provide affordable housing. I am an active member of the ONE Wake coalition, a group of 40+ faith based organizations that advocates for affordable housing, living wage jobs, and quality education throughout Wake County. I understand market forces and recognize we have the power to shape them.
Environmental Stewardship: We need to take the long view to care for our environment. We all benefit from clean air and water, parks for recreation, and beautiful places to take a pause. I am committed to protecting our waterways and greenspaces. I advocate for investments in our natural amenities and improvements to transit infrastructure to reduce fossil fuel dependence. I am a strong voice for climate adaptation. We must act to reduce flooding and heat waves, and protect our tree canopy. We have a duty to be environmental stewards and share our abundance with the next generation.
