The lowdown: Seeking a third term on Council, Jan Davis cites his leadership in bringing the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament back to a refurbished Civic Center and co-founding the Asheville Area Riverfront Redevelopment Commission. The only incumbent in the race, he's taken some flak for his votes on some development issues, including supporting the 51 Biltmore parking deck and giving the Planning and Zoning Commission final say on large downtown projects.

In his own words: “I'm not so locked in to a position that I won't change. And I'm not so locked in to my preconceived ideas that I won't be open to new ones. … I've brought balance to a lot of issues.”

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
