Statement of EDF Action President David Kieve

WASHINGTON, DC, November 4, 2025 – “Restoring faith in public service requires good people to step forward to run for public office. EDF Action congratulates Dustin Ingalls, an integral contributor to our team and a member of our family, on his election to serve his community on the Wendell, North Carolina Town Commission.”

Running on an affordability platform and proving yet again that all politics is local, Dustin Ingalls, Director of Political Programs, East for EDF Action, won a seat to the Wendell, North Carolina Town Commission. In a community of about 20,000 residents, Ingalls estimated that he knocked on over 1,600 doors, reaching the bulk of the expected electorate in person in addition to a robust digital and direct mail effort. The strategy paid off.
