Hello. I’m Mayor Rob Harrington. I'm honored by the confidence City Council has placed in me and grateful for the opportunity to serve. I'll lead by listening, treating people with respect and working every day to do what's best for our city. Together, we'll focus on the issues that matter most to our residents while making thoughtful decisions that will position our city for the future. Over the months ahead, my goal is to help bring people together and keep Charlotte moving in the right direction.

As of this tweet, the City of Charlotte now has a new mayor. Mayor Rob Harrington was sworn in and officially took office the morning of Wednesday, July 1. Any posts prior to this tweet were the thoughts of former Mayor Vi Lyles. All posts from this time forward will be the sole and exclusive sentiments of Mayor Harrington.

Rob Harrington will not be “interim” Mayor, just Mayor. An official act of council appointed him Mayor.
The last time Charlotte had an “interim” or “acting” mayor is when Michael Barnes held that title while the office was vacant due to Pat Cannon’s resignation. #cltcc

The Charlotte region just ranked second in the nation for job growth last year, trailing only New York City, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (@BLS_gov).
This momentum means tens of thousands of new jobs, and we’re committed to making sure this growth reaches every Charlottean.

The first meeting of the MPTA will be on December 18.
MPTA still needs two more members. One from Mint Hill-- meeting tomorrow. And one from Governor Josh Stein who has the last pick of the draft calendar.mecknc.gov/event/bo…

As we continue our unprecedented response to Hurricane Helene, the nation is beginning to understand that impacted areas have been the target of a relentless vortex of disinformation, dialed up by bad actors and platforms like X. 🧵

We're working on the future of America's passenger rail system—funding high-speed rail projects in the West and expanding service for communities across the country. Get your ticket to ride!

In my opinion, repurposing these stores could be a more beneficial solution than simply shutting them down. The food deserts in our cities need full service groceries among other necessities! linkedin.com/posts/activity-…
