Voters in Charlotte again elected Vi Lyles to lead North Carolina’s largest city and residents of Durham and Chapel Hill chose new mayors during the final round of local elections in the state this fall. Lyles was reelected to a fourth term as Charlotte mayor on Tuesday, defeating two other named candidates.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Voters in Charlotte again elected Vi Lyles to lead North Carolina’s largest city and residents of Durham and Chapel Hill chose new mayors during the final round of local elections in the state this fall.
Lyles was once a city employee before becoming a Charlotte City Council member in 2013 and earning her first mayoral win in 2017. She was on the ballot just last year because 2020 census delays required back-to-back elections. Williams is a former public schools teacher who now owns restaurants with his wife. Woodard, who was on the city council for several years, had said he would seek reelection to the state Senate next year if he didn’t become mayor.
Among other larger cities, Fayetteville voters reelected Mitch Colvin to a fourth term as mayor, defeating Freddie de la Cruz in a rematch of a 2022 election. Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo, who has been in the job since 2006, won reelection with only write-in votes opposing him, according to unofficial results, while Greenville voters reelected Mayor P.J. Connelly, who defeated Barbara Gaskins.
