State Representative John Autry (NC-100) represents Charlotte and Mecklenburg Counties. His motivation to improve his community through neighborhood organizing against zoning laws ultimately lead him to a position in elected office. Since being a legislator, he has learned the values of humility and collaboration. 

Autry's top legislative priority right now it authorizing research for alternative therapies using psychedelics to treat PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses. Overall, his major focus is leaving behind a better world for his grandchildren. 

Autry would take an out-of-town visitor to the Common Market. He is currently reading "The Last Gunfight" by Jeff Guinn.
