A thriving economy starts with creating opportunities for everyone.

In Wake County, we have the talent, resources, and drive to lead in innovation, job creation, and long-term growth.

Here’s my plan.

Education changed my life—from Emory to WVU Law. As your next Wake County Commissioner, I’ll fight to raise teacher pay, expand student support, and invest in STEM & career training. Strong schools build strong communities. #SteveRaoForWake #WCPSS

Infrastructure is essential—but too many in Wake County lack basics.

My plan:
🛠️ Repair water/sewer lines
📶 Expand broadband access
🚧 Modernize for growth

Fairness means everyone gets the tools to succeed.

Wake County’s parks & greenways bring us together. As a Morrisville leader, I’ve championed $15M in park investments. Now I’m ready to do even more—safe spaces for kids, clean air & water, and strong community ties. Let’s grow our parks system—together. 🌳⚾ #SteveRaoForWake

Let’s move Wake County forward—together. I’m running for County Commissioner to build smarter traffic flow, connected transit options, and regional solutions that grow with us. A better, more reliable transportation system starts with bold, local leadership. 🚗🚌🚲

Wake County’s growing fast—and so is the need for affordable housing. As your next Commissioner, I’ll fight for smart growth, affordable zoning, help for first-time buyers, and support for our unhoused neighbors. Let’s build a Wake County where everyone can thrive. #SteveRaoforWake

Public safety is vital to a strong Wake County. I’m committed to supporting our Sheriff’s Dept. with more deputies and patrols, and strengthening fire depts. with better pay, training, and equipment. Let’s keep our neighborhoods safe.

When you dial 9-1-1, you expect help to arrive quickly. While improvements have been made, response times are still critical, and we must ensure our emergency services are prepared to meet the needs of our community.

Most people focus on national elections, but your county commissioners make decisions that impact your daily life!

Local government matters. Your vote shapes these big decisions—let’s build a stronger community together! 💪

Proud to bring 14+ yrs of public service, professional /legal training, and regional leadership to my run for Wake County Commissioner. I’m ready to lead with real experience vision. Thanks for your support! #SteveRaoForWake #WakeCountyLeadership #RalPol #WakePol

My family is at the heart of my passion for public service.
My parents immigrated from India with big dreams, instilling in me the values of hard work and opportunity, values that have shaped my life and drive my vision for Wake County’s future.
