Candace Hunziker and Tiana Thurber were elected to the Pittsboro Board of Commissioners amid a crowded field during Tuesday night’s local elections.
Hunziker, the manager of a Chatham County chiropractic practice, received 684 votes (25.46%), the most in the eight-candidate field. Previously, Hunziker told Chapelboro she was inspired to run for town office because of her time on her neighborhood homeowners’ association.
“I’ve been learning about the complexity and multiple phases of Pittsboro’s growth and development, and it’s both challenging and fascinating,” Hunziker said. “But what excites me most is hearing directly from the people who live here—their ideas, concerns, and solutions.”
Thurber, owner of the Pittsboro business Reclamation, earned 518 votes (19.28%) to win the second commissioner seat. Thurber told Chapelboro the damage from Tropical Depression Chantal and the long recovery since then pushed her to declare her candidacy.
“Experiencing that kind of loss firsthand and then seeing how our community showed up for one another was a turning point,” Thurber said.
Alex Brinker received the most votes of any unelected candidate with 434 (16.15%). He was followed by Tobais Palmer (11.2%), Corey Forrest (10.53%), Nikkolas Shramek (9.97%), Freda Alston (4.5%) and Ashley Gross (2.61%).
The race for Pittsboro Mayor, meanwhile, was unopposed once again in 2025. Kyle Shipp earned election to a second term — and his first four-year term in the office, after the town changed its rules in 2023 to align the mayor election with Board of Commissioners two-seat cycles.
