Welcome to The Charlotte Mercury’s official 2025 candidate listings — your comprehensive, nonpartisan guide to the people running for public office across Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
From school board to city council to mayor, we’ve compiled direct contact information, campaign websites, and filing dates for every candidate on the ballot. Whether you’re researching who’s asking for your vote or looking to ask a question, this is the place to start.
Why we publish this:
At The Mercury, we believe democracy works best when voters have easy access to clear, accurate information. That means listing not just the names, but the emails, websites, and phone numbers of everyone seeking to represent you.
How you can use it:
- Reach out directly with your questions and ideas
- Compare platforms across districts and parties
- Share this page with neighbors, students, and civic groups
- Stay informed all the way to the ballot box
We encourage respectful and constructive engagement with every candidate, whether you’re offering support, asking tough questions, or simply listening. Let’s raise the bar for civic dialogue in Charlotte.
