NC Democratic Party leader Anderson Clayton runs to the problem - engaging voters

Anderson Clayton, head of the North Carolina Democratic Party, has ambitious goals for a party eager for success after losing control of the state legislature in 2010 and the state Supreme Court in 2022.

Appeal to rural voters. Increase Black voter participation. Notify voters if they need to add government ID numbers to their registration. Make sure legal voters don’t have their ballots thrown out. And of course, help Democrats win more elections in a state where Republicans hold majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly and the appellate courts.

She added to the list this year an attempt to convince the Democratic National Committee to make North Carolina one of the states that will hold its 2028 presidential primary before Super Tuesday.

She was in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, hitting the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee with her characteristic blizzard of words as she championed North Carolina as an early primary state.
