Robin Cape will bring heart, drive and expertise to City Council

Posted on by David Wheeler

Robin Cape is running for reelection to Asheville City Council. She was having personal problems at filing time and did not think she could run, but later reconsidered and is now running as a write-in candidate.

She is not running a protest campaign. With the support of city voters, she really can win.

Robin has been one of the strongest advocates on the Council for community, sustainability and developing the local economy. In her first term, she has built a strong voting record and a track record of accomplishment.

I think we would be lucky to have Robin back in office. And we can, if her supporters will just mark the "Write in" oval on the election ballot and print "Robin Cape" on the "Write in" line.

Cecil Bothwell and Gordon Smith are both excellent candidates for City Council. If voters would take just a moment to write in Robin Cape, we would have a Council with the heart, the drive and the expertise it will take to lead us through this crucial stage in the city's development.

I would urge all voters to cast a vote that counts, and "Write in Robin Cape" for City Council.

  2. Eager voter

    Yes, I agree. The best slate of candidates is Bothwell-Smith-Cape!!! What a great representation of Asheville that team would be. I’ve already cast my ballot for them.

    (And when you write in Robin, be sure to fill in the oval next to the write-in line just like you do for the other candidates!)
