Charlotte Black Political Caucus-backed candidates win most races

The Charlotte Black Political Caucus endorsed 18 candidates in the recent midterm elections, with all but one winning their races, WBTV reported. The group, active for nearly 60 years, focuses on engaging and empowering the community around candidate support.

BPC Chair Jocelyn Nolley expressed hope that the elected officials will work diligently to improve the lives of Mecklenburg County residents, emphasizing the need for action, transparency, and tangible results.

The Charlotte NAACP also played a role in voter mobilization. Chapter President Rev. Corine Mack noted that while election outcomes may please some, it does not guarantee positive change, and the organization will continue to educate voters and hold leaders accountable.

U.S. Rep. Alma Adams, representing North Carolina’s 12th District which includes Mecklenburg County, won re-election with over 80% of the vote. Adams highlighted the responsibility of Democrats to address long-standing issues now that they control the House and Senate, focusing on improving people's lives rather than political retaliation.
