Longtime Dem Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles to resign months into new term

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, 73, said Thursday she will resign effective June 30, a surprise move less than six months after the five-term Democrat won reelection to lead the nation’s 14th-largest city.

"Serving as Charlotte’s mayor has been the honor of my life," Lyles, 73, said in a statement, The Charlotte Observer reported Thursday. "I am proud of our record navigating various challenges, strengthening our economy, investing in our neighborhoods, and building a foundation for Charlotte’s continued success during a time of rapid growth."

"As in all things politics, I am sure there will be speculation as to why I am making this decision now," the statement continued. "Simply put, I am going to spend time with my grandchildren. Like many of us, I have missed some moments with them and intend to not miss anymore."

Lyles easily won reelection in 2025 after facing questions over whether she would run again.

Her resignation will leave the Charlotte City Council to decide who completes the remainder of her term. 

Lyles has served as Charlotte’s mayor since 2017 after previously serving on the City Council.
