Amy Taylor North

Amy Taylor North is a small business owner from the Lewisville area running to flip a seat in the North Carolina House this November. Amy was raised in a working-class household and she’s seen firsthand the ways mismanagement in the North Carolina General Assembly makes life harder for families trying to make ends meet. If elected, Amy is ready to be a strong voice for hard-working North Carolinians and help usher in a new era of responsible, Democratic state leadership that puts the needs of the people first.

In 2024, Amy ran a strong campaign and came within 1900 votes of flipping this district. Now, cratering approval ratings for the MAGA brand, along with shifting demographics in the state, will give Amy and North Carolina Democrats their best opportunity yet to unseat another entrenched Republican incumbent.

North Carolina is one of the most heavily gerrymandered states in the country, which has allowed an increasingly out-of-touch Republican legislative majority to cling to power for decades, even as Democrats have won elections statewide. 

In the 2024 elections, Democrats pulled off a major victory by breaking the GOP supermajority in the state House, giving them the power to protect newly-elected Governor Josh Stein’s veto authority. Now, 2026 presents a historic opportunity to gain ground and end the GOP’s gerrymandered supermajorities in both chambers for good.

Democrats in the North Carolina Senate are just one seat away from breaking the GOP supermajority in their chamber, and Democratic candidates in the House are running to put a Republican supermajority even further out of reach. With competitive races for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House alongside these legislative races,  the DLCC is all hands on deck to help fund the strong campaigns and infrastructure needed to reach voters and win seats in both chambers in November.
