Felicia "Fee" Thompkins for Mecklenburg County
Commissioner At-Large

People-first leadership. Accountable results.

I believe in fairness, honesty, and transparency — and in leadership that listens first and delivers measurable results. Mecklenburg County faces real challenges: homelessness, poverty, rising crime, and gaps in our education system. But I believe that together, we can meet these challenges with compassion, dedication, and practical solutions.

As your County Commissioner At-Large, my focus is on strengthening the systems that touch everyday life — and making sure County resources are targeted, responsible, and effective.

Priorities

  • Healthcare & Mental Health — expand access and strengthen care coordination.
  • Affordability & Seniors — protect dignity, support aging-in-place, and fight for tax choices that keep seniors in their homes.
  • Education & Youth Support — ensure students have the support and staffing they need to succeed, including stronger coordination with Youth & Family services.
  • Foster Youth — expand resources and pathways so young people can thrive into adulthood.

I’ve always spoken up when something isn’t right — and I lead by listening. Truly listening to the hopes, concerns, and dreams of our community.
