Rani Dasi Eyes County Commissioner Seat | Raleigh News

Rani Dasi, Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board member, is poised to become Orange County’s next commissioner after a landslide Democratic win—66.9% of weighted votes—setting her up for an easy November election with no Republican opponent. Her victory follows the death of longtime Commissioner Jamezetta Bedford, and Dasi’s name will replace Bedford’s on the ballot. With a finance background and proven leadership on the school board, Dasi is ready to tackle county fiscal challenges and community needs. Meanwhile, the school district faces tough choices after Glenwood Elementary’s closure, including relocating STEAM and Mandarin programs. Dasi may even be appointed immediately to fill the seat, with a special meeting scheduled for July 28—potentially letting her take office before November.
