About Krista
Krista Bokhari is a proud wife, mother of three, and longtime advocate for families, neighborhoods, and common-sense solutions in Charlotte. With a background in community leadership and a heart for service, Krista is running to represent District 6 on Charlotte City Council—because she knows what’s at stake when one party has unchecked power and no one is left to speak up for the people.
Krista has been deeply involved in her children’s schools, neighborhood initiatives, and civic conversations that affect working families across South Charlotte. She brings the real-world perspective of a mother raising kids in the city—someone who understands the importance of public safety, responsible growth, and honest government.
Now, she’s stepping up to restore balance and accountability at City Hall, and to be the strong, principled voice District 6 deserves.

Why balance is SO important?
Currently the council is dangerously unbalanced with 10 of the members being Democrats and only 2 being Republican.
The District 6 seat is one of the two seats standing between zero guardrails, accountability or transparency.
