Sarika Bansal, a cybersecurity consultant, and businesswoman, today announced her campaign for Cary Town Council District D.
“I am running for Town Council because we must embrace Cary’s potential. We must include more voices from the community so the town can make strategic investments for future generations,” said Ms. Bansal.
