J.G. is running for Charlotte City Council to bring transparency, accountability, and bold action to City Hall. His priorities include:

• Rooting out waste, fraud, and corruption in city and county departments to ensure responsible use of taxpayer dollars.

• Preserving Charlotte’s unique identity by protecting cultural heritage and green spaces.

• Strengthening city schools and supporting the next generation through mentorship and meaningful youth initiatives.

• Promoting smart, sustainable growth—including mandatory solar panels for new multi-family housing developments.

• Banning vape shops within one mile of schools to safeguard student health.

• Revitalizing the Corridors of Opportunity, including efforts to attract new businesses and bring equitable development to areas like Beatties Ford Road.

• Establishing a City Reparations Commission focused on building generational wealth and enhancing economic mobility in Charlotte’s Black community.

J.G. Lockhart believes in a Charlotte where opportunity is equitable, leadership is accountable, and every neighborhood thrives.

Let’s build a better Charlotte—together.
