Charlotte City Council · City Council Special Meeting on 2026-06-18 12:00 PM - Mayoral Candidate Interviews - Jun 18, 2026 · 18 Jun 2026 meeting

you know staff senior staff and other trustees who we selected because they hopefully represented the city well and it was a diverse in every sense of the word board on purpose to make sure that we were getting the feedback from citizens about what they need and what they need in fast-growing new areas and what they need on baity sport road you know we invest it around that time in the you know baity sport regional which we changed the name of to honor a citizen but that's a

It's a process of communicating with the public and then working internally to make sure that you're effective in getting it done.

I think my library experience is probably the closest, in that sense, experience public sector in Charlotte.

And obviously I've done stuff with the Bar Association.

That's statewide.

But again, there you're working with, and I think it would be...

I think it would be helpful here, that experience of working with people from across the state and with working not as a lobbyist.

We have our own lobbyists, right?

But working conscious of the goals of folks in the legislature who have various opinions about Charlotte and various needs in their own communities.

And I would really look forward to engaging that.

So I would say the experience is Charlotte is primarily library, but I think the skill set is developed from a range of other experiences.

Hope that answers.

great question i i think and thank you council member um i think the communication on those issues and yeah none of this is easy right i mean that's why we're here that's why you guys devote so much time to this the communication on all of those issues is key they're you know i've not been through a process obviously of selecting a manager or or city attorney but the voices in this room have to be involved meaningfully because if they're not you set up a prescription

for folks not to feel a part of the process.

And in any situation like that, you run the risk of setting someone up for failure.

I think that's one of the keys for whoever is the next mayor is to make sure that

the intent going into the process is that voices be heard.

Sometimes that takes longer, right?

Because you might have to work through disagreements.

You might have to work through a lot of questions.
