We can all be the change for Fayetteville
Council Member Mario Benavente is running for Mayor of Fayetteville to make our city a home for all of us. Together, we can keep building on the progress we’ve made toward public safety, economic development, and opportunity for everyone.
Fayetteville should be THE BEST CITY IN NC
By focusing on what makes Fayetteville strong and building bridges between different groups, our community can support law enforcement through solving our challenges with public safety, attract economic opportunity and investment that will help young families see a future, and promote the opportunities we all need to succeed and become the best city in North Carolina.
If you know Fayetteville, you know that our people have been tempered by adversity. But we must be clear-minded about how crime, poverty, and the ensuing brain drain have held our community back from reaching its potential. We shouldn't shy away from an uphill battle—as an E.E. Smith Golden Bull, Mario Benavente knows that we can overcome anything when we put in the work and grab our challenges by the horns.
Mario Benavente will be the man in the arena
As Teddy Roosevelt said in a 1910 speech, "credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; [...] who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly."
Mario's leadership was forged in the fires of the first Donald Trump administration when he saw our leaders failing us during a time of equal justice activism. As our city strives to make progress toward equal justice and public safety, Mario Benavente will be in the arena for us, just as he has been in both the council chambers and on the streets.
