From neighborhood advocacy to becoming the first Black woman elected Mayor of Charlotte, Vi Lyles has helped shape the direction and spirit of our community in profound ways.

Charlotte is better because of her service, leadership, and friendship 3/3

[Malcolm Graham @SenatorMGraham]

I have witnessed firsthand her unwavering commitment to this city, her steady leadership through both triumph and challenge, and her deep love for the people of Charlotte.

Her leadership has always been grounded in compassion, integrity, and a genuine desire to move Charlotte forward. 2/3

Today is a significant moment for our city as Mayor Vi Lyles announces her resignation after decades of extraordinary public service to Charlotte.

For more than 30 years, I have had the privilege of calling Vi not only a colleague, but a dear friend. 1/3

More than 20,000 teachers are at the North Carolina General Assembly today demanding fair pay & a state budget—2 years overdue.

As a former State Senator, I stand with our educators. We must invest in them and act now. #cltnews

I am deeply grateful to JCSU for this recognition and for acknowledging my years of public service. Johnson C. Smith University has always been a powerful institution in the life of our city, shaping leaders, strengthening community, and reminding us of the value of service. #cltnews

Day in the life of a Charlotte City Council Member. Day started with a 830am breakfast meeting with leaders of the military games a huge international sporting event coming to Charlotte in 2027. Small business must fuel the games as much as the athletes do. #cltnews

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson — a mentor, friend, and unwavering voice for hope. I first met him during the “Up with Hope, Down with Dope” campaign in Charleston. While running for President, he spoke at a corporate dinner I hosted as 1/2 #cltnews

Executive Director of the Carolinas MSDC. He recorded a Robo call for me when I ran for the NC Senate. He later delivered the eulogy for my sister, Cynthia Graham, after the Emanuel AME tragedy. His faith, leadership, and belief in others will never be forgotten. 2/2 #cltnews
