NC House of Representatives
District 041

Maria Cervania - NC House of Representatives District 041

Candidate Statement:

Our campaign is of, by and for all people of North Carolina. It’s about something bigger than us and working for the greater good. I am running for North Carolina House — to make positive change for all North Carolinians.

When voters make their voices heard, our state is strengthened. I ask for your vote on November 5 or during early voting.

Importance of this Race:

The NC House of Representatives consists of 120 members who serve two-year terms. Wake County’s delegation includes 13 Representatives, 12 of whom are Democrats. Right now, the NCGOP holds a supermajority, meaning they don’t have to “cross the aisle” to negotiate or pass bills into law. This supermajority also enables Republicans to override the Governor’s veto. Republicans in the General Assembly have pushed through bills limiting the Governor’s power and injected partisan politics into our judicial system. In order to break this supermajority, Democrats need to at least hold all current seats and win an additional one to begin restoring a functional democracy in our General Assembly.

Office Responsibilities:

  • The NC General Assembly is the legislative branch of our government and makes laws for North Carolina.
  • It is made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives, collectively known as the General Assembly.
  • The General Assembly meets biennially and all members are elected for two-year terms.
  • The House consists of 120 members and the presiding officer is known as the Speaker of the House.
