The mayor of Carrboro is officially seeking a second term.

Barbara Foushee launched her re-election campaign on Thursday, announcing her bid to lead the town for another two years and continue building upon the work she has helped oversee within the town government.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Carrboro community for the past year and a half as mayor, and I look forward to doing more if I’m re-elected to serve as Mayor,” Foushee said in the announcement. “I want to keep a seat at the local government table to continue that work.”

A senior technologist and clinical laboratory professional by trade, Foushee has held public office in Carrboro since 2017 when she first earned election to the town council. After serving for one-and-a-half terms, she ran for mayor when Damon Seils chose not to seek re-election in 2023. After running unopposed, Foushee became the first Black woman to hold the mayoral title in Carrboro and just the second Black leader in the role. During her first term, the town government hired its newest town manager and town clerk, embarked on reforming its land use ordinance, spearheaded a lawsuit challenging Duke Energy’s slower transition to clean energy practices, and earned recognition as an All-America City finalist for 2025.
