Bold Leadership for a Brighter Future

Carolina North Forest

Maria Palmer is committed to economic justice, promoting sustainability, and enhancing quality of life through dedicated community-focused actions that empower Orange County residents.

Here’s why she is running in her own words:

“I am running for County Commissioner because Orange County is facing tremendous challenges caused by rising costs, elimination of State and Federal support for needed projects, and threats to our future sustainability and quality of life.”
