Charlotte adopted an ordinance in 2024 related to individuals who are unhoused.
What are your thoughts on those policies and Charlotte's overall approach to homelessness?
Thank you.
This is a really long question, but I'm going to try to condense it.
So if appointed interim mayor, how would you identify and manage any actual or perceived conflicts of interest arising from your employment, clients, business relationship, or financial interests specifically if your current profession required you to frequently recuse yourself from matters knowing you don't have a vote?
Before the council, would you be willing to modify a step away from that role to ensure that the public has a fully engaged and independent mayor?
Ms.
Carrie Cook.
Oh, yeah.
welcome thank you
Thank you for the question, Councilwoman Ashmera, and thank you for the opportunity to be with you all today.
I appreciate this chance to speak with you about my candidacy.
When you think about the role that the mayor plays with the city manager and the city clerk and residents and
Internal and external stakeholders more broadly, I think there's a key emphasis on trust, on transparency, on consensus building.
Those are the things that I have done throughout my life and throughout my career on building trust.
on building relationships on building consensus and coalitions with different groups of people across this community from the east side to the west side from north to south i have been in communities and i think a reputation that i've had is being both grass tops and grassroots which i view as a strength because i can connect and walk with the folks across our community hand in hand be in the neighborhoods understand and talk with residents
but also I can sit with executive leaders and ask for their input and ask for their concerns.
But the biggest thing that I know that's important to all of us is for our city to succeed and for our residents to have quality of life.
And so when I think about that, for our city to succeed, we've got to have trust,
We've got to have transparency, we've got to have efficiency, and we have to deliver results.
