Dan Blue

NC State Senate
District 14

Dan Blue - NC State Senate District 14

Candidate Statement:

Growing up in a four-room farmhouse in Robeson County, I quickly learned that the values of hard work, faith, and education were the keys to a successful future – lessons learned from my parents, teachers, and my community. I’ve never lost sight of those values, and that’s why I fight every day to help provide North Carolinians with the same opportunities to succeed.

Importance of this Race:

Republicans gained a supermajority in the General Assembly in 2022, empowering them to override Governor Cooper’s vetoes of bad legislation. Since then, MAGA Republicans have rolled back gun safety laws, passed an extreme abortion ban, funneled a shocking amount of resources away from our public schools, and are in the process of reducing the corporate income tax to 0%. Before we can make progress in NC, we first must break the GOP supermajority by electing more Democrats to the State House and Senate.

Office Responsibilities:

  • The NC General Assembly is the legislative branch of government and makes laws for NC.
  • The Senate and the House of Representatives are collectively known as the General Assembly.
  • The NCGA meets biennially and all members are elected for two-year terms.
  • The Senate consists of 50 members, and the Lt. Governor is President of the Senate. In his absence, the presiding officer is known as the President Pro Tempore.
