Lindsey Prather

Rep. Lindsey Prather is an educator from Buncombe County running for reelection to the North Carolina House, where she’s been a strong advocate for public schools, affordable health care, and the environment. She’s driven by a commitment to good governance and the belief that every child in North Carolina deserves the best education possible. 

First elected in 2022, Lindsey successfully defended her seat against her Republican challenger in 2024, and now she’s ready to do it again to keep fighting for North Carolina’s working families.

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.
