Danté Anderson
District 1 · Term 2025–2027
Danté Anderson represents District 1 on the Charlotte City Council. She has emerged as the council's most vocal champion for Gateway Station, the multimodal transit hub planned at W. Trade and Graham streets. At the March 2026 budget workshop, Anderson pressed city staff for a concrete Amtrak timeline and connected the stalled Charlotte Transportation Center redevelopment to broader transit planning.
Anderson voted yes on the Crosland Southeast affordable housing project and has been active on shelter policy, homelessness response, and transit infrastructure investment. On April 13, she claimed Charlotte was the only major U.S. city without a legal street vending framework during the street vending ordinance discussion. Her district includes some of Charlotte's most active development corridors.
