Hello. I’m Mayor Rob Harrington. I'm honored by the confidence City Council has placed in me and grateful for the opportunity to serve. I'll lead by listening, treating people with respect and working every day to do what's best for our city. Together, we'll focus on the issues that matter most to our residents while making thoughtful decisions that will position our city for the future. Over the months ahead, my goal is to help bring people together and keep Charlotte moving in the right direction.

@banamazing extremely valid equivalency.

Siemens S700 light rail vehicles – up to 65 mph Average Commuter Rail Train – up to 79 mph BUILD RAIL TO THE SUBURBS!

@The_Iron_Van @CAS_CPA and very few of those murders were random. people don't hop on the train to create havoc in your community.

@CAS_CPA @CLTdevelopment You are correct in 2025 there was 81 traffic deaths. How many murders in the city in 2025? 96. I don't think trains will help with bad policy. There should be no such thing as a 17 time repeat offender.

Parking lots are already paved, already exposed to the sun, and already taking up huge amounts of space. Covering them with solar panels can generate power, shade cars, reduce heat, and keep farmland for farming. The question is simple: should solar go on open fields first — or on the spaces we already covered?

Dale Earnhardt was famously against that flag. Hate seeing it next to #3.

Hard to tell which street is cooler

@choosesam @wm_agee lol

@wm_agee @CLTdevelopment Nah Clayton is famously against the transit tax and the MPTA

This is a reminder to get your big ticket purchases in before July 1 when the sales tax goes up from 7.25% to 8.25%

@kirkmorgan9 @bobf876 agreed, been a panthers and hornets fan since both team's inception.

@bobf876 @CLTdevelopment Ain’t nobody here “fickle” Bob. Head back north

This is why I haven't bought a jersey for any player or team since McCaffrey left.

@CLTdevelopment OR wait until 7/1 so that we can fund even more transit
