The Inside Scoop
Mayoral race will be contested
Bill Knight will take on the incumbent mayor in this year’s city council election, he will announce this Wednesday.
Knight lost a bid for an at-large council seat in 2007. This time he’ll seek a higher office, challenging Mayor Yvonne Johnson, who plans to seek re-election.
The retired CPA and consultant has made a hobby out of watching city business over the last few years.
“I’ve been here all my life,” he said. “I understand Greensboro.”
Knight said he hopes to run an issue-based campaign, focusing on things like crime and restoring trust in the community.
But more on that later this summer. Candidates can officially file their intentions with the board of elections July 6.
