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.
Our vision is rooted in belonging, abundance, and shared possibility. We’re building a Durham where everyone feels at home – and where abundance isn’t reserved for the few, but shared across our entire community.
