CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The North Carolina Forward Party is thrilled to announce the selection of Rob Yates as a Forward Aligned Candidate for the upcoming mayoral race in Charlotte, North Carolina. Rob’s unwavering commitment to the principles of decentralization, individual liberty, and putting people first make him an ideal candidate to lead our city forward.
