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

do really well to advance Charlotte's priorities and Charlotte's issues.

And it's something I'm comfortable with.

I'm comfortable picking up the phone.

I'm comfortable getting on the road.

I'm comfortable leaning in and having conversations with people who, again, sometimes have different perspectives and experiences.

But at the end of the day, you do that because for me, it's about being an advocate for our people and moving our issues forward.

And I'm very much aligned with the core issues and priorities that you all have outlined.

and would be excited to support those and pick up the phone and be a chief advocate for the city and for our people.

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, Councilmember Johnson, for the question.

So again, I'm going to go back to a couple of things with housing and thinking about it on a continuum.

So when we start with our unhoused neighbors, I think we do have to continue to advance policies that increase

the supply of housing and provide housing for our neighbors who are unhoused.

But we also have to be thoughtful about the partners that are around the table and think innovatively about how we continue to address the issues around our unhoused neighbors.

And so one of the things, again, coming back to the question is how do we partner with other folks, going back to Councilman Drigg's question, intergovernmentally.

And so the county has a big part in this.

And when we think about

some of the reasons that our neighbors are unhoused, including mental health and other challenges.

And so part of my thoughts are around, yes, we have to advance policies and opportunities to increase housing supply.
