I love Durham, and this city has given me and my family so much — but this campaign isn’t about me. It’s about what’s best for our city now and creating a legacy for the future.
Durham is Dope — Because of Us.
Leonardo “Leo” Williams is a proud educator, entrepreneur, and public servant whose life’s work is rooted in the belief that when communities come together, anything is possible. As Durham’s mayor, Leo brings a bold, people-first vision to city leadership—one that honors our shared history while building a more inclusive, prosperous future.
Durham is dope—not just because of its culture, creativity, and resilience—but because of everyday people like you. Under Mayor Williams’ leadership, Durham is building a future where everyone can thrive.
My vision to address these priorities is diverse housing options that allow for stable, safe, and affordable shelter, robust economic development initiatives, an infrastructure that will support multimodal transit options and expanded connectivity, an environment that is built and sustained by us all, and effective strategies to address public safety and improve the overall quality of life for all residents of Durham.
