Love leads KM resident to run for mayor

Anyone in the community is welcome to come by, both citizens and business owners. “We look at Kings Mountain like a wheel with spokes. We have our central business district, but we are also interested in driving business and economic development down our major thoroughfares, like Battleground Avenue, Cleveland Avenue, Highways 161 and 216, and King Street, from the Patrick Senior Center west to the by-pass. We are concerned with how we should market Kings Mountain and effectively drive people to our city,” Stone said.

“I fell in love with a woman who was passionately in love with her hometown,” said Rob Wagman, “and then I experienced it for myself and found out why.”

The woman he refers to is Sarah Lee, the cohost of the Paul Schadt and Sarah Lee Morning Show on Charlotte’s 96.1 The Kat, whose love for Kings Mountain is evident every morning as she proudly represents her hometown and Cleveland County.

The couple first met in 2004 when Rob Wagman was station manager of iHeart Radio’s 96.1 The Beat in Charlotte. Sarah Lee was on the station’s morning show.

“A strong faith in God was the first thing we had in common,” said Wagman, “but it was her consistency and work ethic that intrigued me most.”

At different times in 2009, both Wagman and Sarah Lee were promoted to radio’s biggest market, New York City, where Rob managed a station and staff for CBS Radio, and where Sarah Lee would join celebrity Nick Cannon for a daily morning radio show.

The couple married in 2011 and later returned to Kings Mountain when Sarah Lee was offered the job at 96.9 The Kat.

“The high school football season was in high gear when we returned,” said Rob Wagman, “the love, pride, and support this town pours into its football program were the catalyst of making me fall in love with Kings Mountain. Experiencing the KM Elite sports program and how it teaches character at the same time teaching a championship mindset, made me realize that the people in Kings

Mountain have a heart, not just for the good of this town, but for the future of our children.”

He added, “Because the residents care enough to create programs that create a better future, I know I live in a place where those in office, positions to serve the very people who care about this good city, should mirror that same heart of the people in the city they serve.”

On July 7, 2023, Rob Wagman officially filed to run for the office of mayor of Kings Mountain, North Carolina.
