Woodson Bradley

Sen. Woodson Bradley is a Charlotte-area business owner, community leader, and tireless volunteer running for reelection to the North Carolina Senate. Her commitment to giving back stems from her past experiences as a single mother and survivor of domestic violence, and she sees public service as a way to support women currently facing similar situations. Whether advocating for public school funding, organizing for robust social services, or speaking out for women’s rights, Woodson can always be found fighting for the most vulnerable members of her community. 

Woodson defended this district for Democrats after running as a DLCC Target candidate, winning one of the closest races in the nation in 2024, and this year she’s ready to do it again with the support of Democrats across the country.

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.
