NC SENATE: Cheri Beasley (D)
Raised by a trailblazing mom, Cheri Beasley learned the values of hard work, integrit, and justice at a young age. She and her husband, Curt, instilled those same values in their twin sons, Thomas and Matthew, as they raised their family in North Carolina.
In 2019, she rose to become the first African American woman to serve as chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. As a judge, she has always acted independently and without bias to uphold the law and keep communities safe — no matter the politics.
She implemented paid family leave as chief justice to over 6,000 court employees. She created the first human trafficking court in North Carolina to hold traffickers accountable and support victims.
In the Senate she plans to put North Carolina first and bring with her the same values of hard work, integrity and justice that have guided her life.
