Schewel, Ali win primary By Bre Bradham | Local and National News Editor

Sarah Kerman | Senior News Reporter In Durham politics, candidates jostle each other for the endorsements of the city’s three powerful political action committees. As municipal primary election results slowly rolled in on Tuesday night, the People’s Alliance PAC took over 106 E. Main Street for their election results watch party. Before the night was over, all four of the candidates they had endorsed— Schewel, Trinity ’73, for mayor, DeDreana Freeman for Ward 1 of city council, John Rooks, Jr. for Ward 2 and Vernetta Alston for Ward 3— dropped by and took their turn thanking the PAC for its support. “I’m feeling two ways,” Schewel said after addressing the People’s Alliance. “One is, I’m feeling Steve Schewel tired because it’s been a long day of campaigning and a long several months to get here. But I’m also feeling really energized because I did really well, my volunteers are amazing and I know they are going to carry me through this next month.” The top two finishers in each race will move on to the general election held Nov. 8, even in situations where one candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote. With all the precincts reporting, Schewel captured more than 51 percent of the vote for mayor and Farad Ali Farad Ali received 29 percent. Schewel has served on Durham City Council since 2011. He is also a visiting assistant professor in the Sanford School of Public Policy and founded The Independent Weekly. Schewel received endorsements from the Durham People’s Alliance, AFL-CIO and others. Farad Ali is a former city council member who campaigned on pro-growth and economic development themes.

pparently the commute from East Campus to Science Drive might not be the worst for the Duke community. Each week, faculty members of Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy fly in from different parts of the East Coast to teach their courses. Mark Stencel, visiting lecturer in the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy, and Phillip Bennett, Eugene C. Patteson professor of the practice of public policy studies and journalism, are among those professors that live in two worlds, spending hours in the air every week so that they can be on campus to teach Duke undergraduates. “I teach a class once a week, and I usually fly down to Durham from Arlington, Va. and spend two days on campus,” Stencel See FLYING on Page 3
