Thank you Cary voters for your faith and trust in me to continue to serve as your District B Representative on the Cary Town Council! This victory wouldn't have been possible without your support and encouragement; especially that of my wife, Lisa and family.

   It has truly been my honor and privilege to serve as your voice in town government.

   Four years ago you elected me to give citizens a greater voice in your government. You sought leadership that was in touch with our community and better understood our concerns. You wanted representation that was swift, courteous and most importantly, effective.

   You were concerned Cary was growing too fast and that your quality of life was declining; that Cary was losing sight of some of the things that made our town such a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. You were worried about the town's finances and increasing debt, and the council's lack of focus in Cary's older communities.

   Despite these challenges, together we have worked to address a number of community concerns. We have made great progress in Cary over the last four years, but we still have work to do.

   During my second term I pledge to continue to work to make growth a benefit to our community, not a burden; to balance the rights of folks to develop their property while better protecting the rights of communities from the negative effects of development. Great things happen when all stakeholders are involved in the process. Under my leadership Cary has managed a sustainable growth rate of 3-4%.

   I promise to continue to practice fiscal restraint and budget responsibly; to make Cary a friendlier place to do business; and I will continue to fight to ensure that all areas of Cary receive their fair share of town resources.

   Most importantly, I will continue to listen to all Cary citizens. My door is always open. If I can be of any assistance to you, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can reach me at don.frantz@townofcary.org or 919-612-6870.

   Thanks again for your support and I look forward to continuing to serve you as your District B Cary Town Councilman. Together we are making a difference!

   In your service,
