It is official now, the local Tea Party protest movement has spawned a challenge to our status quo leadership. Craig Nannini, Navy vet and electrical engineer, is running for Charlotte city council at-large as a Republican.
“Charlotte is going broke. I’m a Navy veteran, so I’m familiar with the phrase ‘spending like a drunken sailor.’ That’s what our city leaders are doing,” declares Nannini, a new father who lives with his family off of Mallard Creek Rd. in north Charlotte. “They give away millions on pet projects to the politically connected. I want to ensure that every Charlottean is able to successfully accomplish their dreams.”
Nannini plans an official campaign kick-off tomorrow at 6pm at Jackson’s Java in University City.
