Kyle Luebke completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Luebke's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Transportation: As a bus rider, I know how much our transportation system needs to improve. We have buses that do not show up - "ghost buses" - to schedules that do not work for working class people. We need to take a hard look at our transit system, what we need to spend money on, and how we can increase frequency, reliability and coverage for our entire City. As your next Councilman, I will prioritize fixing our bus system (as opposed to building shiny object like the Silver Line), and I will demand accountability from CATS leadership.
- Public Safety: We are currently hundreds of police officers short in our City and are struggling to recruit and retain our officers. Because of this lack of officers, low-level property crime is increasing in our community and officers are forced to cover large areas of Charlotte - so large that they cannot walk their beats and be key stakeholders in the communities they serve. We need to ensure that CMPD is a top employer of choice and that starts by ensuring our officers feel valued. As your next Councilman, I will make sure to hold our officers accountable while at the same time recognizing the important role they play in our City.
- Housing: We are in a housing crisis. From starter homes being in the high $300s to long time residents being pushed out through high property taxes, something has to give. As your next Councilman, I will ensure that our development code prioritizes homes to own so that our community members can build generational wealth. I will also prioritize advocating for a property tax freeze at the state level for our vulnerable neighbors.
If you question where you are going to sleep next, or if your rent is 50% of your take home pay, it is difficult to get ahead.
If you are stuck in traffic or on the bus for 2-3 hours per day, or if the bus doesn't work for your schedule or go to your place of employment, it is difficult to get ahead.
If you are constantly fearing for your safety in your neighborhood, it is difficult to get ahead.
