David L. Howard (D) – site<br/>“I love this city because it helped shape who I am and provided opportunities to this child, of a single mom, who was raised on the west side. I believe that increased opportunities in Charlotte should extend to everyone willing to work for them, but it’s getting harder to get by, let alone get ahead. I’m running for Mayor of Charlotte to change that.”
