Nancy Vaughan (née Barakat) is the 48th mayor of Greensboro, North Carolina.[1] Having previously served on the city council at large, she was elected mayor on November 5, 2013, with 59% of the vote.[2][3] Vaughan was sworn in on December 3, 2013.[4] She was reelected in 2017.

Tenure as Mayor[edit]
Vaughan has come under criticism for enforcing an arbitrary code of conduct at city council meetings. These rules prohibit citizens from speaking on matters "in litigation" or speaking in a way that Vaughan "deem[s] to be an 'attack'" on any city employee.[7] This move was criticized by citizens, watch groups, and multiple members of city council who say they were not informed of the code of conduct before Vaughan began enforcing it an the October 2 city council meeting.[8]
