Charlotte City Council · City Council Business Meeting on 2026-05-26 5:30 PM - May 26, 2026 · 26 May 2026 meeting

Yes.

Go ahead.

I think the motion was made by J.D.

That is J.D.

's motion.

Move to approve A and B. Second.

I'm sorry.

Just say Pepsi.

Okay, Kimberly.

So I really greatly abbreviated the comments that I was going to make tonight because this has been a long night.

But I'm asking my colleagues for each of you, particularly obviously I'm speaking to the ones and I'm very pleased that we've now expanded this to external and not just internal candidates from mayoral succession.

But I'm asking you to put the campaign aside

and to run in 2027, not to start running right now.

And I ask that because I think that the job that you have right now really requires that.

And I want us to be open to choosing the best person for this moment, and not necessarily the safest choice.

And I appreciate, because I'm not running, that I've got that great privilege of doing that.

But I really am hopeful that we'll come together to choose a person who will study this council, steady us and not divide us, and who can lead without ego.

So, yeah, I want to put that out into the room.

I have nothing but mad respect for all of you who are running, but the number of constituents that I've heard from who are very concerned about what the internal process is going to do to further erode some of our relationships, I just really hope that we're going to be able to rise to the occasion.

So I thank all of you for that.
