The race for the District 1 seat on the Greensboro City Council is a contest between incumbent Sharon Hightower and Crystal Black, a youth development coordinator for Guilford County Schools.

Each of the candidates in the race points to their grassroots work in the community in arguing they are the best person to represent the district.

Since only two candidates filed in the race, there will be no primary for District 1 and the candidates will contend in the Nov. 4 general election.

The race is officially nonpartisan. Both Black and Hightower are registered Democrats.

Both of the candidates submitted responses to a News & Record questionnaire. Here is what they had to say.
