Four candidates received at least four votes to become finalists:

  • Amanda Borer, administrative director for neurosciences at Duke University Health System.
  • Shelia Huggins, Durham attorney with municipal government experience.
  • Chelsea Cook, attorney with Legal Aid of North Carolina’s Durham Eviction Diversion Program.
  • Chastain Swain, law and policy advisor for the State of North Carolina.

The finalists are set to be interviewed during a meeting on Jan. 8.
