About Chelsea
Chelsea Dickey is a proud Alamance County native with deep roots in Graham and a passion for serving her community. She is a mom, wife, and small business owner who understands the values, challenges, and opportunities that shape everyday life in our city.
For more than a decade, Chelsea has worked in economic development and downtown revitalization, helping local businesses grow and new ones take root. Her leadership played a key role in bringing community favorites like Forgotten Road Ales and HiFi Records to Graham, as well as launching the Love, Graham branding initiative — a campaign that sparked fresh energy, pride, and activity in downtown.
Chelsea’s vision for Graham is simple but strong:
Smart, inclusive growth that preserves our small-town charm
Support for local businesses and entrepreneurs
Safe, welcoming neighborhoods for all residents
Transparent leadership that listens and responds to the people
Above all, Chelsea believes Graham deserves a mayor who will show up, listen well, and lead with both heart and strategy.
When she’s not working or volunteering, Chelsea enjoys spending time with her husband and young family, exploring Graham’s parks and greenways, and supporting local shops and restaurants.
This fall, Chelsea is running for Mayor of Graham to continue the work she’s been doing for years — building a stronger, more connected community where families, businesses, and neighborhoods can thrive.
"I love this city and its people. I would be honored to serve as your mayor." — Chelsea Dickey
