WCDP Election Central – Candidate Information

Dustin Ingalls

Wendell Town Commission

Wendell Municipals Town Commission - Dustin Ingalls

Candidate Statement:

Outside of work and public service, I’m a tenor in my church choir, where I previously served as a deacon for three years, and I’ve sung in a couple showcases for the Big Charm Players based here in Wendell. I love baseball (hoping for MLB expansion in Raleigh!), and I play in two fantasy leagues. I’ve gotten into gardening and improvements to my house at the edge of downtown Wendell, which was built in 1941. And I love spending time with my dog Judge.

Issues:

The big issue is growth

We’re one of the fastest-growing towns in North Carolina. With that growth comes both challenges and opportunities. Wendell is one of the few places in Wake County where there is still undeveloped land, and we don’t get a do-over on the land use choices we make now, so we have to get it right.

Preservation of what makes our town so great

A big part of what attracted me to Wendell was its history and character. As a member of the town’s downtown development citizens advisory committee, I’ve been a part of recommending upfit grants for new and existing downtown businesses to preserve and renovate their buildings.

Protecting our environment

I want to make sure we preserve our tree canopy and sensitive areas like floodplains, knowing their value to our town’s beauty, air quality, and ability to absorb stormwater.
