2025 Town of Cary Election Results

Note: all results are still considered unofficial until Wake County Board of Elections certifies them.

Cary voters knew the direction they wanted the town to head last night, and they made it clear with decisive wins across all three Town Council races.

Here are the results:

At-Large:

District A:

District C:

Landslide victories

Cary’s municipal election results were overwhelmingly decisive. Carissa Johnson easily secured another term as Cary’s at-large representative with about 65 percent of the vote, Brittany Richards unseated longtime council member Jennifer Robinson in District A with nearly 60 percent, and Bella Huang dominated District C with the same commanding margin. In a town known for close, polite politics, the scale of these victories stood out. Each race ended with a double-digit spread, signaling that Cary residents weren’t divided or uncertain this year.

A nonpartisan race with partisan undertones

While these local races are officially non‐partisan, the partisan under-currents were evident. The Wake County Democratic Party had endorsed Johnson, Richards and Huang, and the Republican Party backed Eastman, Robinson and Miller. In Cary, this endorsement pattern played out with complete success for the Democratic‐endorsed slate.

What’s especially noteworthy is that Cary’s results appear to mirror a broader national trajectory. Across the country, Democrats logged major victories in state and local contests last night. For example, Democrat Abigail Spanberger won the Virginia governor’s race by a double‐digit margin. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill won her race handily.

Official Results

The results released on election night are considered unofficial until they are certified by the Wake County Board of Elections. Certification typically occurs within about a week after Election Day, once all mail-in ballots and provisional votes are verified. The official results will be available on the Wake County Board of Elections website at wake.gov/elections, where residents can review final tallies, turnout data, and precinct breakdowns.
