BEST MEMBER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
MAYOR ANTHONY FOXX
A repeat winner, albeit formerly as a city councilman. Our new mayor is Charlotte-born and Davidson-educated. Only the second African-American mayor in the citys more than 300-year history, Anthony Foxx was elected during one of the most trying eras imaginable The Great Recession for the Souths banking capital. But youre as likely to bump into the down-to-earth, happily married father of two at Target as you are at a highfalutin dinner party. And thats just one reason why we love him. Cheers to a mayor whos got our back and knows what its like to work your way up the ladder of success.
