Tune in here to this ​Monday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about candidate filings and key local races across the Charlotte area as the election season officially begins. With the filing period open until July 18, Jensen dives into who's already thrown their hat in the ring—from mayors and city council hopefuls to CMS school board challengers. Jensen is joined by Charlotte City Councilman Ed Driggs to discuss his decision to seek re-election on the first day of candidate filing for municipal elections. Driggs, who has served nearly 12 years on council, shares that despite frustrations, his commitment to finishing critical work—like the Unified Development Ordinance and a proposed infrastructure sales tax—motivated him to run again. He reflects on challenges, especially strained dynamics among council members, but emphasizes pride in helping shape key legislation that could address traffic and housing affordability.
