NAME: Keith Weatherly
AGE: 57
OCCUPATION: State executive director, Farm Service Agency (agency of U.S. Department of Agriculture)
EDUCATION: B.A., UNC-Chapel Hill
POLITICAL PARTY AND EXPERIENCE: Republican. Apex mayor, 1995 to present; Apex Town Board, 1993-95; Apex Planning Board, 1993.
CIVIC ACTIVITIES AND OTHER AFFILIATIONS: Centennial Authority member, 2003 to present (Authority oversees RBC Center), Transportation Advisory Committee member (CAMPO), Apex Economic Development Committee (Apex Chamber).
WHY SHOULD YOU BE ELECTED: As Apex continues to enjoy exceptional economic vitality, I believe our foremost priority must be to maintain our family-friendly, small-town character. Apex citizens expect the highest standards for future development as well as carefully managed, conservative residential growth. Money Magazine recently named Apex as one of the best places to live in the U.S. I am seeking re-election as Apex mayor in order to participate with other community leaders in ensuring we continue to emphasize those quality-of-life issues evident in that national ranking, while providing the most efficient, responsive local government possible.
