It was a practical, empowering session for anyone considering launching—or refining—a business in Wake County.

Later in the day, the Local Candidates Forum for Southeast Raleigh brought together community members eager to hear directly from the voices shaping the March 2026 Primary.

The event saw a strong turnout and meaningful discussion. Attending helped clarify key issues and perspectives, making it easier to form informed decisions about the upcoming primary. Forums like this continue to prove how engaged and thoughtful Southeast Raleigh residents are when it comes to local leadership.
