Inside the Races: Brett Jensen Breaks Down Key Mayoral Contests and Sits Down with Dan Boone

Tune in here to this Wednesday’s edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by examining key mayoral races unfolding across Mecklenburg County, with a focus on Mint Hill, Pineville, and Matthews. Jensen begins by outlining the largely predictable contest in Mint Hill, where long-serving Mayor Pro Tem Dale Dalton is expected to succeed the outgoing mayor, bolstered by name recognition and institutional support. In Pineville.

Later, Jensen sits down with Dan Boone for an exclusive one-on-one interview to discuss the evolving political landscape in Huntersville and his decision to shift from a mayoral run to a town commission campaign. Boone, a four-term commissioner and prominent Republican voice in the area, explains his decision was driven by electoral math—two Republicans running against Democrat Christy Clark would split the vote and all but guarantee her victory. Boone details his concerns over a lack of transparency in town governance, citing private meetings between commissioners and staff as a major issue
