Β CHARLOTTE, NC — Edwin Peacock is officially making his case to be Charlotte’s next Mayor.

The former City Council at-large Republican kicked off his Mayoral campaign Wednesday night during a rally at Sycamore Brewing in south Charlotte. Β Peacock lost the 2013 Mayoral election to Patrick Cannon, who is now serving prison time on corruption charges. Β Peacock says it’s now time for a new vision in Charlotte.

“Charlotte is looking for leadership in our government, and we need to bring fiscal responsibility back to Charlotte,” said Peacock. Β “And we need to make us the most family and business city in America.”

Peacock only has one other Republican challenger so far. Β Scott Stone officially launched his campaign earlier this month. Β 

There are four Democrats in the running: third-term City Councilman David Howard, current Mayor Dan Clodfelter, former County Commissioner Jennifer Roberts, and Mayor Pro-Tem Michael Barnes.
