Elect judges who value your freedoms.
The 2024 elections underscored just how critical our judicial races truly are. Republican Jefferson Griffin tried to silence 67,000 voters and steal a seat on the Supreme Court. Thanks to a unified and determined effort by Democrats, that attempt was stopped. On May 13, 2025, Justice Allison Riggs was officially sworn in—marking a victory for fairness, democracy, and the rule of law.
Vote for Democratic Judges in 2026.

Right-wing extremist judges have taken
over our state courts
RIGGED MAPS
They allowed Republican legislators to rig our voting maps and made it harder to vote.
SCHOOLS
They prevented $677 million dollars from flowing into our public schools.
SILENCED
They tried to silence our only Black Supreme Court Justice, Anita Earls, yet they permitted Justice Phil Berger Jr. to hear multiple cases involving his own father, the President of the NC Senate!
