NC-13: Wiley Nickel (D)
As a father, husband, attorney, state senator and now candidate for Congress, Wiley Nickel has committed his life to public service and delivering for his neighbors in North Carolina.
At a young age, Wiley Nickel saw firsthand how a health care crisis can shake a family when he lost his father to lung cancer as a high schooler.
Wiley worked for two White House administrations — including for President Barack Obama, where he saw and learned from Obama’s vision of hope and change for America. Wiley also learned that finding common ground and building coalitions is the way to get real results for hardworking American families.
From voting rights to a quality public education to reproductive health care, Wiley has fought tooth and nail for the issues important to North Carolinians. As a state senator, Wiley authored a bill to improve child literacy and to put a nurse in every public school, and he fought to pass bipartisan legislation to expand rural broadband.
