This being Thanksgiving week, it seems appropriate to thank the citizens that voted for me -- all 4322 of them. When I spoke to the Council today, I carried a piece a paper with that number on it to remind me of the people that trusted me enough to vote for me. It's a great confidence builder.
Also in tomorrow's Independent back page, there will be a Thank You ad to all of the Indy readers. As best I can figure, about 7 to 8% of my 9.65% of the votes came from Independent readers. Of course that doesn't make the rest of my voters any less valuable.
I thank you all.
I hope you will join me as I continue to support citizen involvement, neighborhoods, natural systems and equality in this wonderful city and region.

About Me
- Helen Tart
- Raleigh, NC, United States
- I ran for City Council because Raleigh is my home and I believe I can help it to stay the healthy, uplifting place that it is. My goal on the City Council will be: first, to help the citizens of Raleigh understand what the city is doing now and why. Second, make it easier for citizens to communicate with the city and to have that communication respected and remembered. I will strive to let Raleigh’s residents to help the city in day-to-day activities -- like running a dog park. I think this will lead to more effective and less expensive solutions to Raleigh’s problems and opportunities. BIO: I'm a native of rural eastern North Carolina, moved to Raleigh in 1975 to attend NCSU, graduated, and never left the city. I worked throughout my education. My husband and I bought our house on Monroe Drive in 1989. I started working for the News and Observer's production department in 1980 and worked there until November 2006. I have participated in numerous public service initiatives, and wish to take my expertise to the next level.
