The race for Fuquay-Varina Commissioner is underway as seven candidates are vying for three positions on the Board of Commissioners.  Attorney Jason Wunsch is seeking a seat on the Board and recently participated in a Candidate Forum sponsored by the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce.  

One of the major topics in the first of three candidate forums was economic growth in Fuquay-Varina.  Wunsch stated that his primary objective was to develop both the Fuquay and Varina downtowns and that small business owners should be given assistance through grants to help them comply with town ordinances that require costly upgrades to buildings.  Wunsch also felt that is was the responsibility of the Commissioners to not only attract small business but assist with their growth and development.  One way to accomplish this would be to partner with organizations that seek to have outdoor events (and road closings), where small businesses can attract much needed attention. 

The theme of Mr. Wunsch’s campaign is responsible growth, which means not only looking at the current needs of Fuquay-Varina, but also addressing what future issues will be presented by the town’s rapid growth. Attorney Wunsch’s candidacy has received the endorsement of the Wake County Democratic Party.
