Notice something different with our logo?

With the election now just days away Candidate ME has become Candidate THEM, a modern twist on that election season classic - the voter guide.

Real candidates for Charlotte's City Council call in to try to sway your vote. We talk school board elections and cover some of the interesting races in the suburbs.

Host Tom Bullock asks a soon to be new member of the Council a question you never get to ask candidates before Election Day. Plus, our political hacks are back and in keeping with our THEM theme, they get to pick what we talk about. It's a mix of trivia, partisan jabs and a question about if early voting trends are predicting a mayoral surprise.

Tom Bullock decided to trade the khaki clad masses and traffic of Washington DC for Charlotte in 2014. Before joining WFAE, Tom spent 15 years working for NPR. Over that time he served as everything from an intern to senior producer of NPR’s Election Unit. Tom also spent five years as the senior producer of NPR’s Foreign Desk where he produced and reported from Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Haiti, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon among others. Tom is looking forward to finally convincing his young daughter, Charlotte, that her new hometown was not, in fact, named after her.
