Felicia “Fee” Thompkins is a community advocate with a career rooted in people, performance, and public service — including work in HR/talent and systems-based accountability, with earlier experience in social work and service to vulnerable populations. She’s running for Mecklenburg County Commissioner At-Large to strengthen essential County services and ensure results residents can see. Born and raised in the historic Africatown section of Mobile, Alabama, Felicia is one of eight children and a proud member of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Parish. Her upbringing shaped a deep respect for service, collaboration, and community.

Felicia earned her bachelor’s degree in social work from Alabama State University, and early in her career served in roles supporting seniors, families, and foster youth — experiences that still ground her people-first approach today.  Felicia has been happily married to William Thompkins for 31 years.

WHAT SHE BELIEVES: Felicia believes government should be run like a mission-driven organization: clear priorities, transparent decisions, and accountability for outcomes — especially in areas like seniors’ services, mental health, and youth support.

TRANSIT: Transit matters because it connects people to jobs, school, healthcare, and opportunity. Inspired by her mother — a retired bus operator — Felicia understands how reliable public transportation supports economic mobility and community connection. Felicia stays engaged through local civic and community organizations and believes progress happens when neighbors work together. It’s time for a new voice in leadership — one committed to progress, compassion, and the well-being of every resident.
