This week on Flashpoint, WCNC Charlotte's Ben Thompson talks with Charlotte city councilman, Braxton Winston about running again for an at-large seat.
"We have really taken that hands-off approach. And I think that's been fatal in this process," Winston, councilman at-large, said.
Winston co-chairs the city's intergovernmental committee and is running for re-election. He said the city has lost substantial time in engaging in regional, state, and business stakeholders.
Next, Ben talks with Republican Charlotte City Council at-large candidate, Carrie Olinski about why she’s running. Olinksi said public safety is her number one priority, but said all the issues facing city leaders are connected.
"We have transportation and housing and jobs, all of them are intertwined," Olinski said.
All of this and more on Sunday at 11 a.m. on Flashpoint, only on WCNC Charlotte.
