Charlotte folks, remember in a couple weeks when voting for City Council that Edwin Peacock (R) chooses to be associated with the “literal” shit posting, White House destroying leader of his party. None of this “he’s a moderate” stuff; he has a choice and he chooses to stay affiliated w/ TFG. #cltcc
At-large incumbents hold serve. District 6 GOP taps Krista Bokhari. West side map moves; east side steadies. We connect the dots and the November math: cltmercury.com/district-3-...
#CLT #CLTcc
District 5 is a razor’s edge: J.D. Mazuera Arias 50.3% vs Marjorie Molina 49.7%—a 37-vote gap. Provisional ballots, canvass, and a likely recount up next. Read the rules + what to watch: cltmercury.com/district-3-...

District 3 flipped. Joi Mayo ousts Tiawana Brown—powered by ground game and BPC backing. She’ll face Republican James Bowers in November. No spin. Receipts inside: cltmercury.com/district-3-f...

It's primary election day, and I ran out at lunchtime to vote in the primary for Charlotte Mayor & City Council. I prefer to vote early, but none of the early voting locations were close enough to home. Get out and vote today, CLT! Polls are open until 7:30 pm. #ncpol #cltcc #vote #IVoted
Saturday, I gave some early numbers on Charlotte city council primary early voting.
Listen to Gerry over me.
His mail numbers are bigger, and he has deets on new registrations and voter “repair.”

Excellent @queencitynerve.com article by Ryan Pitkin on displacement, homelessness. Trying to see the forest for the trees, I see a lack of continuing govt funding puts folks at the mercy of poorly funded nonprofits with good hearts but too few resources. #cltcc #meckbocc qcnerve.com/hotel-displa...
A new stand-alone bank with drive-through, at Central and Nandina? Let's see if the CLT city council will OK a bank F-ing up one of Charlotte's only truly walkable neighborhoods. #cltcc charlotteledger.substack.com/i/163369598/...
