Top Reasons to Vote for Ben Carroll for Mayor of Chapel Hill

1. Our grassroots campaign is the only which accounts for the needs and rights of youth, people of color, LGBTQ folks, undocumented workers, underrepresented people, and poor people.

2. Ben is not a Democrat (or especially not a Republican!). He is a socialist!

3. Ben is that cute kid from Student Stores

4. Ben has absolutely no desire or need to give into the needs of corporations, bankers, real estate speculators, or anyone else but the working and the poor.

5. At the youthful age of 21, Ben has made very few backroom deals in smoke-filled bars which have costed him his dignity, much less his ideas

6. If you’re gonna vote for a white guy, you might as well vote for the feminist, anti-racist, anti-imperialist, anti-heterosexist one.

7. The other mayoral candidates politicians are politicians
