Danté Anderson
District 1 · Term 2025–2027
Danté Anderson represents District 1 on the Charlotte City Council. She has emerged as the council’s most vocal champion for Gateway Station, the multimodal transit hub planned at W. Trade and Graham streets. At the March 2026 budget workshop, Anderson pressed city staff for a concrete Amtrak timeline and connected the stalled Charlotte Transportation Center redevelopment to broader transit planning.
Anderson voted yes on the Crosland Southeast affordable housing project and has been active on shelter policy, homelessness response, and transit infrastructure investment. In June 2026 she was part of the council that adopted a citywide street vending ordinance, voted unanimously for a 150-day data center moratorium, and took up the process of choosing an interim mayor after Vi Lyles announced she would resign June 30. Her district includes some of Charlotte’s most active development corridors.
