A current member of the Hillsborough Town Board announced her intentions to run for re-election on Wednesday.
Kathleen Ferguson, who was first elected in 2013, will run for her fourth term on the board. She was successfully re-elected in 2017 and 2021.
“I’m running for reelection because I believe in Hillsborough: a place where everyone deserves to be heard, where growth is guided by our shared values, and where local government works for the people it says it serves,” said Ferguson. “We’re facing big community questions about affordability, infrastructure, and how we grow as a community. I’m ready to continue doing the work to ensure our town stays vibrant, welcoming, and sustainable.”
A press release from Ferguson’s campaign said that she is “running to continue her Town service grounded in practicality, responsiveness and inclusivity.” The release listed some of her priorities as “advocating for environmental sustainability and equitable housing to building collaboration regionally to tackle big problems.”
In 2024, Ferguson advocated for taking a cautious approach to adding new greenways to the town but said she supports the goal overall. She was one of the town commissioners who expressed support for a new ordinance barring the feeding of wildlife within town limits after a local man took to feeding and attracting vultures to his property. She also was one of the commissioners who helped advocate for the approval of a town-wide equity plan.
Ferguson is a current board member of the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness, the Local Government Affordable Housing Collaborative, and the Central Pines Regional Council.
The filing period for the 2025 municipal election cycle in North Carolina begins the morning of Monday, July 7 and will run through 12 p.m. of Friday, July 18.
