The Charlotte mayor race for 2013 ended with Democratic candidate Patrick Cannon winning the race.

Tuesday’s election  pitted 47-year-old Democrat Patrick Cannon against 43-year-old Republican Edwin Peacock.

Both candidates were touting plans to help create new jobs in Charlotte.

Peacock was at a disadvantage — 50 percent of Charlotte’s 550,000 registered voters are Democrats. About 23 percent are Republicans, the rest unaffiliated.
