2023 Candidate Questionnaire + Voter Guide
To help our followers better navigate the local election scene and understand where each candidate stands with regard to a range of important issues that affect local sustainability Sustain Charlotte, in partnership with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Climate Leaders coalition, surveyed candidates running for the offices of Charlotte City Council and Charlotte Mayor.
Questions were emailed to all the candidates who filed their candidacy with Mecklenburg County and who have provided their email addresses.
We did not make any alterations to the wording of the submitted responses, so the original spelling/grammar is preserved. We did edit the format of the responses so that the paragraphs appear uniform. Here are the responses we received as submitted by the candidates.
As a 501(c) 3 organization, we cannot endorse candidates, but we can inform you of where the candidates stand on issues that we think are important.
