Every Neighbor Deserves Better

This town is not just for business owners and tourists. It is a home for every single one of us. And none of us can truly thrive while our neighbors struggle to meet their basic needs. As a city councilperson, I hope to make city council act in a way that truly reflects that you matter here, too.

What Asheville residents deserve from city council:

Resilient Housing Placeholder
Making Asheville Affordable

The cost of living keeps going up: families are being priced out of living here, and housing insecurity grows every year. Everyone knows it's tough to live here, but it does not have to continue this way. City council just has to act on what's actually important for our neighbors.

Food Security Placeholder
Better Food Security

Food should be a basic right, but wealth inequity makes getting enough to eat inaccessible for many. City council must lead the way to make sure none of our neighbors go hungry, especially when the federal government works to eliminate food subsidies.

Healthy Communities Placeholder
Healthy Communities

When our neighbors can't afford healthcare because of for-profit systems, that is a crisis. When our rivers are polluted by industry because of greed, that's a crisis. Let's work together to make our communities safer for all of our neighbors instead of just a few.

Economy Placeholder
An Economy for Everyone

The point of having a good economy in Asheville is so that all of our neighbors get a chance to live good, safe lives. Let's work to harness what makes Asheville amazing for our neighbors and keep the tourism money in the city instead of flowing into the pockets of developers.

I’m Dan Ferrell, and I’m running for Asheville City Council to truly make Asheville a town for all of us. We live in a different world than we did a few years ago, and I want our town’s policies to reflect our community’s real, changing needs.
