KRISTA BOKHARI (R) FILES FOR CHARLOTTE'S DISTRICT 6 CITY COUNCIL SEAT, SETTING STAGE FOR COMPETITIVE ELECTION
The political landscape in Charlotte, North Carolina continues to evolve as Krista Bokhari steps up to file for the District 6 City Council seat, a position previously held by her husband, Tariq Bokhari.
According to QC News, Krista Bokhari made her intention official on Monday at the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections.
Her husband vacated the seat to accept an appointment within the Trump Administration at the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Krista Bokhari, who had aimed to fill her husband's seat through appointment earlier this year, ultimately did not secure the seat due to Mayor Vi Lyles casting the deciding vote in favor of Edwin Peacock III.
