Honoring the past while embracing the future
Meet Your Candidate
Meet Adrian Eckenrod
Lifelong Guilford County resident. Oak Ridge Parks & Rec co-chair. Tech leader. Community advocate.
I chose Oak Ridge to raise my family because I believe in its values and vision. Now, I’m running for Town Council to help guide smart growth, protect what makes our town special, and lead with integrity.
Smart growth. Strong values. Together for Oak Ridge.
A Dedicated Leader
Our Vision Ahead
Smart Growth & Planning
Oak Ridge is growing, and we must guide that growth with care. I support development that respects our town’s character, protects green spaces, fosters trail development, and ensures infrastructure keeps pace with community needs. Thoughtful planning today means a stronger, more balanced Oak Ridge tomorrow.
Community Engagement
Good governance starts with listening. I believe in transparency, open dialogue, and making sure every resident feels heard. Whether it’s through town meetings, surveys, or one-on-one conversations, I’ll work to keep our community connected and informed.
Parks & Recreation
Our parks are a crown jewel of Oak Ridge—places where families gather, kids play, and neighbors connect. As a longtime member and current co-chair of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, I’m committed to preserving and enhancing these spaces for generations to come.
Youth & Families
Oak Ridge should be a place where families thrive. I’ll advocate for safe neighborhoods, strong partnerships with schools, youth sports, and programs that support young people. Investing in our youth means investing in the future of our town.
Fiscal Responsibility
Smart growth requires smart budgeting. I'll work to ensure Oak Ridge's resources are managed with care, transparency, and long-term vision. Every dollar should serve our residents—whether through essential services, infrastructure, or community programs—with accountability and impact. I will oppose raising taxes and instead focus on making the most of existing funds through efficient, responsible spending.
