Harold Weinbrecht has been the Democratic mayor of Cary, North Carolina since 2007. Weinbrecht is also a full-time programmer at SAS Institute.[1][2] Weinbrecht defeated Republican Ernie McAlister in the 2007 mayoral election.[3]

In 1997, amid disputes between developers and citizens, Weinbrecht launched the web site "Citizens for Balanced Growth." This and related political involvement led to a 1999 appointment to Cary's Planning and Zoning Board. Cary voters elected Weinbrecht to an at-large town council seat in 1999. Though his opponent spent 6 times what he did, Weinbrecht was elected Mayor in 2007 winning approval on 58% of ballots cast.[1]
