The Charge for Durham

To everyone who lives, learns, works, worships, serves, invests, and plays in Durham—this is our moment. This is our charge.

I, Anjanée Bell, step forward with bold vision, fearless integrity, and a deep commitment to decisive action—alongside those ready to build. Durham will not wait. Durham will not settle. Durham will not defer progress.

A better Durham for everyone is not only a place to be—but a place to become.

I will listen. I will act. I will not turn away.

I will champion inclusivity, innovation, and opportunity—building forward, never looking back.

When challenges arise, I will stand in the fire—unshaken, relentless, and committed to leading with love.

Durham is moving forward. No holding back. This is it.

We build. We move. We lead.
Together, we are the charge.

Durham—our time will not wait.
