Title: City Council member & Vice Mayor · attorney · Public Safety Committee member In this role since: Sept 2020 (appointed to the seat vacated by Vijay Kapoor; elected in her own right Nov 2022; chosen Vice Mayor by council Dec 10, 2024) Current term ends: Dec 2026 Next voter decision: Nov 3, 2026: seeking re-election, having advanced from the March 3 primary with ~6% (BPR) · Election 2026
Surveillance record
Voted yes at every stage of the buildout: the 2023 Fusus interlocal, the 2025 grant votes, and both RTIC items on May 12, 2026 (each passed 6–1, Roney the sole no; confirmed on the city’s own video).
In her words
I could find no substantive public statement from Mosley on the RTIC, Fusus, Flock, or surveillance generally: not at council, not on the campaign trail, not in any candidate questionnaire (as of Aug 17, 2026). GAP of Asheville reported that constituent advocacy to council members before the vote received no substantive responses.
Her seat on the downtown improvement district board
Mosley holds the council’s non-voting seat on the board of the Asheville Downtown Improvement District, the Chamber/Downtown Association-created nonprofit that operates the BID she voted to create (6–1, Roney no). See Follow the Money for how the BID, the Chamber’s camera-registry advocacy, and the RTIC’s downtown camera-recruitment program interlock, and why a council member sitting on the operator’s board while seeking re-election is itself a question for the campaign.
Questions she hasn’t answered
As Vice Mayor, a Public Safety Committee member, an attorney, and a candidate: Does she support releasing the executed Axon contract? Publishing the quarterly audits? Making the safeguards binding by ordinance (Promise Tracker)? Voters can ask: antanettemosley@avlcouncil.com, or at any forum; see Election 2026 for the questions that can’t be answered with a slogan.
Ballot note
A residency challenge (based on an Atlanta homestead exemption, surfaced in December 2025 by Asheville Watchdog/BPR reporting) was unanimously denied by the Buncombe County Board of Elections on January 21, 2026 (BPR); a State Board of Elections inquiry remained open as of that reporting. She remains on the November ballot.
