18 Equality NC-endorsed candidates won their elections across the Charlotte region!

From Congress and the North Carolina General Assembly to county commissions and the courts, we're celebrating leaders elected to represent our communities. U.S. Congress Alma Adams — District 12 District Court Alyssa Levine — District 26, Seat 14 Samantha Mobley — District 26, Seat 19 North Carolina Senate April Cook — District 34 Woodson Bradley — District 42 North Carolina House Thomas Monks — District 73 Chris Bishopp — District 82 Beth Helfrich — District 98 Veleria Levy — District 99 Julia Greenfield — District 100 Laura Budd — District 103 Ken McCool — District 105 Jordan Lopez — District 112 County Commissioners Mark Jerrell — Mecklenburg County District 4 Charles DeLoach — Mecklenburg County District 5 Susan Rodriguez-McDowell — Mecklenburg County District 6 Dan Redding — Cabarrus County Ingrid Nurse — Cabarrus County For LGBTQIA+ North Carolinians and our families, representation matters at every level of government. From the policies debated in Raleigh to the decisions made in our own communities, these elections shape our everyday lives. And one of the most closely watched results in North Carolina? Equality NC-endorsed Ken McCool defeated incumbent Tricia Cotham in House District 105. These victories didn't happen by accident. LGBTQIA+ folks, Black and Brown communities, young people, and allies have been knocking on doors, talking with our neighbors, and organizing across the region. Congratulations to our endorsed winners! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
