Leader Reives Statement on Passing of 2026 Candidate Filing
“I am thankful to the Democrats in every corner of North Carolina who have stepped up to run for office next year. These are our most consequential legislative races in a long time. I look forward to House Democrats competing hard to earn the trust of voters in communities all over our state. Recent elections in neighboring states and a strong 2025 for municipal races across North Carolina show that we have the potential to put seats in play that have previously felt out of reach. Skyrocketing costs at the grocery store and in the doctor’s office are rankling North Carolinians and they have no one to blame but Republican leadership in Raleigh and Washington. House Democrats are fighting to lower the cost of living, expand health care coverage, fully fund education and invest in every North Carolinian, regardless of their address.”
