Holly Carterwants to replace Lee Brand on the Fresno City Council.  

"I never wanted to run for office, I actually still don't want to run for office," Carters says. "It's more of a gravitational pull."

Over the next few weeks KVPR will be talking with all three of the candidates who want to fill the District 6 seat on the council representing North Fresno. In this interview Valley Edition Host Joe Moore chats with Carter, a local businesswoman and cancer survivor, who runs her own marketing firm. 

"I'm looking to help usher in a systemic change and put in place processes where so that we can create friendlier business climate and attract new businesses to Fresno which will create a stronger, healthier economy," Carter says.
