My name is Kyle Stogoski. I am a 26 year old living in southwest Raleigh, and I possess a brightly burning passion for the affordability crisis afflicting Wake County. Originally from Connecticut, my family moved to Florida when I was 12 due to affordability issues, and then I moved up to North Carolina on my own when I was 21 in 2021, after losing my mother to pancreatic cancer around Christmas of 2020 due to feeling a spurred sense of wanderlust following her passing. After coming to NC, I continued working a mix of rideshare gigs and customer-facing hourly jobs. I attended Wake Tech for a time, but eventually dropped out due to affordability issues, and a stint of homelessness where I lived out of my car with my dogs, something that has gone a long way towards molding my drive and decision to run for office. I've since both volunteered and worked with other campaigns in the area, and am now taking that political passion into my own hands.
  • Housing Affordability - As things stand right now, the cost-of-living is utterly unsustainable, and is only becoming worse. This is something I understand particularly well as someone of Generation Z who is struggling immensely with the job market as many of us are. I support measures such as fast-track starter housing, first-look programs for Wake residents, expanding down payment assistance programs for Wake residents, and I will fiercely advocate with legislative connections to slam the door fully shut on predatory corporations like Blackstone and career landlords from buying up our single and multi family housing.
  • Intelligent Stewardship - Growth is a good thing when it's done with intent and purpose, but can be negative when there are no environmental guardrails in place. I support a local-business-first economy, with grant programs for small businesses, permit streamlining for local operators, and targeted incentives for employers who reinvest locally, while tempering all of that with protections for farmlands and other natural open spaces, focusing growth in existing sectors and redeveloping existing underutilized infrastructure, and linking requirements/incentives to energy efficiency and environmental mitigation.
  • Invest in People, not Bureaucracy - The fact of implementing plans and investing in growth alone is not enough. These idealistic goals often become lost in the murky waters of bureaucracy, or may result in inefficiently high spending, and thus higher taxes. To counter-balance my prior listed growth initiatives, we must ensure that dollars spent go to the people of Wake, not a bloated system. Zero-based budgeting, public performance dashboards, regular independent audits, and sunset clauses on programs that fail to meet expectations are just a few of the many common sense conditions I will attach to my plan in order to ensure tax dollars are spent wisely, not excessively.
