Dear Friends

May 13, 2025

I’m Renee Perkins Johnson, and I’m honored to announce my campaign for re-election to represent District 4 on the Charlotte City Council!

Since 2019, my commitment has been centered on affordable housing, strategic development, and public accountability. I’ve worked every day to ensure our communities are heard, respected, and represented with integrity at every level of city government.

Last week was a tough moment for our city. It reminded us all how essential trust, transparency, and ethical leadership are. I’m pleased that Mayor Vi Lyles has asked me to partner with her on efforts to improve how our City Council works together. This initiative isn’t just about reaching consensus—it’s about building understanding, restoring confidence, and modeling the kind of integrity that our residents deserve.

I’ve always believed that public service means listening first, acting with fairness, and staying accountable to the people who put us in office. 

From championing affordable housing and responsible development to advocating for greater transparency and community engagement, I’ve never wavered in my focus on the issues that matter most to District 4.

There’s still more work to do—and I’m ready to keep doing it with you, and for you.

Let’s continue this journey—together.
