Brady said she hopes to help bring more quality jobs to the county. “Our recent growth has been a whole lot of retail.

Ingle said he ran a grassroots campaign in the county, trying to meet as many people as possible.

Brady said campaigning and serving will be a chal lenge. “It will certainly be a balancing act,” she said. “I had been cleaning my plate off as far as extracurricular activities for the past two years so I could devote my time to this.

He returned to Elon last January as a special investigator for Campus Police. Ingle is also involved in the Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program and has taught criminal justice classes at Alamance Community College. He said his political views have actually changed over time. “I have a conservative view, which is kind of unusual,” he said. “I come from a long line of Democrats. I was a Democrat for the greater part of my life, but my views are now more in line with the Republican party.” Brady also said her political views have shifted as well. “Early in 20011 started ponder ing it,” she said. “I made a list and there was one more Democratic thing than Republican.” Contact Andrew High at pendu- lum@elon.edu or 278-7247.
