Our passion is to elect progressive candidates to the North Carolina General Assembly. Work for Democracy (WFD) has made a difference in elections since 2018, and with your help we hope to have even more success in 2026. We can’t afford to wait. The time for action is now.
Who We Are
WFD is a progressive grassroots movement organized as a political action committee under North Carolina law. We formed in 2016 in response to threats to our democracy. Our focus has been to elect outstanding Democratic candidates to the NC Legislature.
What We Do
We concentrate on supporting candidates in close races where we believe our efforts can help produce victory at the polls. We use a dual strategy: making early, substantial financial contributions to candidates and deploying boots-on-the-ground canvassing during campaign season.
Work for Democracy endorsed two incumbent NC House Representatives who share our values. Both Amanda Cook, HD 60 and Rodney Pierce, HD 27 successfully defeated their primary challengers in their respective districts.
Currently in 2026, WFD endorses candidates across North Carolina:
House candidates:
LeVon Barnes, Winn Decker, Shelly Headen, Beth Helfrich, Evonne Hopkins, Ken McCool, Curtis McRae, Amy North, Whitney Olive, Dante Pittman, Lindsey Prather, Lorenza Wilkins
