Editors’ Note: Eleven candidates \u2014 all Democrats \u2014 are vying for five seats on the Durham County Board of Commissioners in the March 5 election. No Republicans or Libertarians have entered the contest, so the March 5 results will determine who sits on the commission. The 9th Street Journal is speaking with each candidate in the race. In coming days, we’ll bring you profiles of all 11 candidates.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Stephen J. Valentine is a decorated U.S. Army veteran. He\u2019s also passionate about gun reform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a person who handled firearms in the military, I can say unequivocally that everyone in society should not have a firearm, particularly of the automatic variety,\u201d says Valentine, 54, who is running for a seat on the county commission.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Valentine is the only candidate on the county commissioner ballot with a background in the armed services. He joined the army in 1998 and was in combat from 2003-2004. It\u2019s his career in the milit<\/span>ary \u2014 an institution commonly associated with American patriotism and warmongering \u2014 that reinforced his passions for gun reform.<\/p>\n

However, his stance on firearms began in his childhood growing up in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. \u201cI can remember growing up and seeing people that I know who were victims of gun violence in the streets, and so I\u2019ve always been a person who\u2019s been against large swaths of our society using firearms,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If elected to the Board of County Commissioners, Valentine would work to counter gun violence. \u201cI actually consider myself to be the most progressive candidate in this race, even with the military background,\u201d says Valentine. He would choose \u201cpeace over war 10 out of 10 times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from gun violence, the Durham Public Schools budget crisis is another battle facing the Bull City. Valentine hopes that school board members can reach a resolution quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt pains me just to see the children out of school,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, DPS is $9 million short as the system looks to fund pay raises promised to classified workers through the end of the year. One place the school board could turn for assistance is to the Board of County Commissioners. However, Valentine says the board has a variety of considerations to weigh as they think about the long-term effects of covering the missing funds \u2014\u00a0 including the county\u2019s bond rating.<\/span><\/p>\n

The veteran\u2019s proudest military accomplishment is rising to become a major after enlisting in the U.S. Army as a private. In addition, the county commissioner hopeful earned the Bronze Star Medal during Operation Iraqi Freedom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His resume also boasts experience as a social worker. Before entering into combat, Valentine oversaw military programs dealing with child abuse, neglect, domestic violence, and mental health. \u201cI know something about social services and being able to provide services to vulnerable populations in a way that someone else generally wouldn\u2019t,\u201d says Valentine. He hopes to translate this experience to improve Durham residents\u2019 quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Valentine received his Juris Doctorate degree from North Carolina Central University School of Law in 2009. He currently serves as the director and supervising attorney of the NCCU Veterans Law Clinic, which handles cases of veterans seeking compensation from the federal government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His clients include veterans injured in combat who may be entitled to compensation. Spouses of deceased veterans, too, can come to the clinic for help claiming benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, Valentine serves on the Durham City-County Planning Commission, which inspired his decision to run for county commissioner.\u00a0 Valentine previously ran for election to the U.S. House to represent North Carolina\u2019s 4th Congressional District, but he lost in the Democratic primary on May 17, 2022. For this race, he\u2019s received endorsements from the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People and INDYWeek.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The planning commission deals with many issues relating to development. \u201cBut, there\u2019s still a large number of our citizens who are being left behind. Particularly, communities of color,\u201d says Valentine, \u201cSo as I continue to hear that over and over again, I decided to throw my name into the hat.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Durham City Council member Nate Baker served with Valentine on the planning commission. \u201cHe came with high standards for development in Durham,\u201d says Baker. \u201cHe\u2019s very good at standing on his principles.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

During a September meeting, Valentine walked out in a gesture of solidarity with Durham\u2019s sanitation workers <\/span>petitioning for fairer wages.<\/span><\/a> \u201cI think he cares a lot about affordable housing and social justice and inclusivity and equity,\u201d continues Baker, who joined Valentine in withdrawing from the meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The veteran fears that the current trajectory of development in the county is unsustainable, especially when it comes to the skyrocketing costs of homes. In December 2022, Valentine voted against a package of amendments \u2014 the Simplified Code for Affordable Housing (SCAD) \u2014 that would loosen building and zoning regulations. He objected to the fact that the legislation came from developers \u2014 from those being regulated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Universal preschool is also on his agenda. He plans to enhance early childhood education in Durham by securing permanent funding for what is now a pilot program. Valentine hopes to bring the Durham H.E.A.R.T. (Holistic Empathetic Assistance Response Teams) into schools as well, in order to reduce the burden on social workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Valentine and his wife, Valarie, have three kids, all of whom attended Durham Public Schools. Although the candidate has no prior experience holding a local government position, he\u2019s not a stranger to service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it is true that I\u2019m new to politics, but not to public service,\u201d says the veteran. \u201cI\u2019ve been serving all my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
