Republicans on our Court of Appeals allowed the General Assembly to take away the Governor's authority to appoint the most qualified judges to vacancies on our courts and instead allow political party operatives to pick our judges.

I am fortunate to have grown up in the North Carolina Jim Hunt built. His devotion to this state made it a better place for us all to live, work, and go to school. We will sorely miss him, and Anna and I are praying for his family.

I’m proud of the work I did with @joshsteinnc.bsky.social at the Department of Justice to fight gerrymandering and hold domestic abusers accountable. I look forward to upholding all North Carolinians’ rights as your next Court of Appeals judge.

Honored to be an East Meck graduate after students there stood up for their fellow classmates through a peaceful protest of CBP’s rights violations in Charlotte.

I’m inspired by Justice Earls’ career fighting to uphold our rights as a civil rights lawyer and on the N.C. Supreme Court. We must re-elect her next year.

Thanks to Sen. Graig Meyer and Kym Meyer for hosting us.
