Candidate DJ Hardy strategized with community leader Nettie Coad and communications director Kristen Jeffers last week.The DJ Hardy campaign is announcing that the candidate has received the endorsements of Daron Sellars and Nettie Coad.
Hardy is the sole candidate for the District 1 seat on Greensboro City Council. The current representative, Dianne Bellamy-Small, has filed to run for mayor. Hardy thanked Bellamy-Small for her service in District 1 in a prepared statement today.
Sellars unsuccessfully challenged Bellamy-Small for the District 1 seat two years ago. Coad, a longtime community leader in Ole Asheboro, ran unsuccessfully in District 2 in 2009. Coad joined Hardy and a group of volunteers at the candidate's house last week to develop a community outreach strategy to reach voters in the district.
UPDATE: Sellars, who is the president and CEO of the National Association of Young Black Elected Officials, says, "DJ is an extremely intelligent, bright guy. He has great leadership, great vision. I think he will bring a new leadership style to District 1. He is aggressive and ambitious. He's passionate about his district. How do you not like DJ, you know?"
Sellars said his duties with the National Association of Young Black Elected Officials, which include organizing round tables at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte and Republican National Convention in Tampa next year, will keep him too busy to run for city council this year.
"Everybody that supported me I would like for them to support DJ," he said.
