Candidate filing opens for 2025. Who's running for Charlotte, CMS, Mecklenburg seats Read more at: https://www.charlott

Incumbents and newcomers alike gathered alongside family, friends and advisors Monday at the Mecklenburg County Board of
Elections as candidate filing opened for the 2025 local election.

The filing window officially opened at 8 a.m. Monday for candidates looking to run for municipal office in Charlotte and Mecklenburg towns or for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education later this year. The filing period runs for about two weeks.


Some, including Montravias King, were at the Board of Elections first thing to make their candidacy official. King is running as a Democrat in west Charlotte’s City Council District 3. Although he’s expected to face indicted incumbent Tiawana Brown, King told reporters he doesn’t intend to focus his campaign on the allegations against her.

Candidates in other closely watched races filed Monday, too, including Kimberly Owens. A real estate attorney, Owens is running as a Democrat in south Charlotte’s City Council District 6. Longtime Republican representative Tariq Bokhari, who won his last two elections by less than 500 votes, stepped down earlier this year for a job in the Trump administration.
