about Antwain Nance
A Leader for Mecklenburg County
I’m Antwain Nance, a lifelong resident of Mecklenburg County with a deep passion for justice, public safety, and community leadership. My journey began as a Detention Officer at the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, where I ensured the safety of both staff and inmates. During that time, I witnessed firsthand the challenges within our criminal justice system and dedicated myself to mentorship, rehabilitation, and accountability.
After transitioning into the aviation and logistics industry, I began my career in fleet service before advancing into logistics. Working alongside hardworking men and women who keep our economy moving, I developed a deep understanding of the struggles that everyday families face. Recognizing my dedication to fairness and advocacy, my peers elected me as a Union shop steward, where I proudly fight for workers’ rights, fair treatment, and better conditions in the aviation and logistics industry. This experience continues to strengthen my commitment to strong, people-first leadership.
Now, I’m stepping up to serve as your next Mecklenburg County Sheriff because our community deserves transparency, integrity, and real solutions. I am committed to reducing crime, ensuring fairness in law enforcement, and restoring public trust in the Sheriff’s Office. This isn’t about politics, it’s about the people. Together, we can build a safer, stronger, and more just Mecklenburg County for everyone.
