Today, I announced that I’m running for re-election. Charlotte is a city of opportunity, and I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together. But, there is still work to do - and I’m ready to keep doing it.

Lynn Wheeler believed in her party and her city. She put residents first and politics second. She would build relationships ahead of difficult votes, most notably the arena relocation to Uptown. She was always prepared. Always for Charlotte. We send our condolences to her family.

Thank you, Charlotte, for re-electing me as your mayor! I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together next!

It’s Election Day! Remember, polls will stay open until 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 7. Any voter in line at their assigned polling place at 7:30 p.m. will be able to vote. Don’t forget your ID and to vote for these little girls’ Mimi!

Today is the last day of early voting! Please make sure to cast your vote - Election Day is Tuesday!.#votevilyles #vote #charlotte #clt

Thank you, Charlotte, for the chance to continue on in November’s General Election after we were able to secure over 85 percent of the vote in yesterday’s Democratic primary. See you at the polls this fall as we continue the journey to make Charlotte a more equitable city.

While early voting closed in Mecklenburg County today, I enjoyed casting my vote a few weeks ago with two of my grand daughters in tow! Polls open on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 6:30am for the Democratic Primary. Please remember to get out to vote! #vilyles #votevilyles #vilylesformayor

I’m so excited to be endorsed again by @emilyslist. EMILYs List believes the most courageous thing you can do is put your name on the ballot, and they actively work to increase the number of women at every level of government. Thank you for endorsing me.

Thank you @HigherHeightPAC for the endorsement! It's my goal to continue to drive Charlotte's success by creating a more equitable city.
