Sorry I can't do more election coverage, but being a one-person operation means I will have to focus on countywide races. This is the most competitive one this year:

Transylvania County Sheriff David Mahoney's looming retirement has created stiff competition for his job, including this year's only primary for a countywide seat.

Been working on this one for a few weeks. It's about the dramatic impact from the "exponential" growth of short-term rentals in Transylvania and especially Brevard. Seems like super-important topic and I hope you will read -- AND subscribe. Can't emphasize enough there are no downsides.

Brevard, for now, is the only feasible location for significant, badly needed affordable housing projects. Neighbors aren't thrilled.

A really enjoyable story to write, about super-strong, engaging -- and extremely modest -- local pro cyclists. Special to have such folks in our community.

Brevard College alums Hannah Arensman and Erica Zaveta will ride for the U.S. at the World Cyclo-cross Championships. They downplay the feat, saying they are just two among many strong local pros.

Funny thing. I write about shopping in downtown in Brevard and get 4,000 views. Posts about the most expensive public project in county history get half that. This story is about revised plans for that work, the $68 million upgrades to campuses in Brevard and Rosman. If you're a taxpayer, you might want to read:

Hi All.
Big news for Rosman and the county as a whole -- $7 million in state funding will allow the town to significantly expand utility service in the Rosman Highway corridor. Brevard and DuPont also received funds for much-needed projects.

The money will go to the town of Rosman to expand water and sewer capacity, especially in the Rosman Highway corridor. The city of Brevard and Dupont State Recreational Forest also received funding.

Hi All. Latest (and last) profile of a Brevard City Candidate. Want to emphasize this is purely based on fact-checked reporting, not opinion. Providing the best information I can on city races. Sign up is free (though paid subscriptions are a greatly appreciated contribution) and entitles you to direct email of future stories. Thanks. Dan
