It has been a tremendous honor to serve on the North Carolina Supreme Court since my appointment by Governor Roy Cooper in September of 2023. I’m excited about the opportunity to run in November 2024 for a full term on the court.
I’ve spent my entire career fighting for equal justice under the law for every person, regardless of wealth or skin color. Prior to my appointment to the North Carolina Court of Appeals (read my opinions here) and then to the North Carolina Supreme Court, I served as the Co-Executive Director for Programs and Chief Counsel for Voting Rights at the Southern Coalition for Social Justice in Durham, North Carolina. For the 14 years I was there, I had the privilege of advocating for those who had been marginalized and disenfranchised, arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court in several landmark redistricting cases.
My passion for justice led me to become a justice on the North Carolina Supreme Court, where I am building bridges to deliver on that promise of equal justice under the law. I'm proud to approach all the cases that have and will come before me with thoughtfulness, compassion, and a commitment to the rule of law, in areas ranging from criminal law to family law to business law. As a justice, my guiding principles are integrity, transparency, consistency and empathy. Justice for all means that the doors to the courthouse are not arbitrarily slammed shut, and I take seriously my role in making our judicial system accessible and understood.
I earned my Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, and Juris Doctor all at the University of Florida. Since then, I have devoted myself to serving the community and my profession through associations ranging from the North Carolina Bar Association and to the American Constitution Society.
If elected to a full term, I will continue to work hard to ensure that the Supreme Court delivers justice to all North Carolinians without fear or favor.
