District 6 Charlotte City Council

District 6 is in South Charlotte and covers the area around South Park Mall. District 6 has one of the highest percentages of registered Republicans in the city and this is expected to be a competitive race in both the primary and general elections. Of Mecklenburg County’s 155,000 registered Republican voters, 25,000 are in District 6. The winner of this primary will face Democrat Kimberly Owens in the general election. If you are a registered Republican voter, this District 6 primary is the only Republican primary race in Mecklenburg County. Registered Republicans living outside of District 6 will have no primary choices and will therefore not vote in this 2025 municipal primary. 

District 6 has experienced turnover in the last year: Tariq Bokhari resigned to take a role in the Trump administration and veteran politician Edwin Peacock then replaced him. Peacock is running for City Council At-Large (he will only appear on the general election ballot in November). The winner of this race will be District 6’s third city council member in less than a year.
