From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! After a long and busy year, I’m grateful for the chance to slow down and spend some time with Caroline and the kids. I hope you’re finding space this season to be with the people you love, enjoy the small moments, and do what fills your heart with joy. 🧵

Another great house party—this time in Cary. These conversations matter, and I’m grateful to everyone who took the time to show up, ask questions, and engage. Join our campaign at an upcoming house party → wileynickel.com

Out knocking on doors today in Cary — because the best way to understand what voters care about is to actually listen. Had some great conversations about how we can do a better job keeping Wake County safe and the need to restore trust in the office by tackling political corruption.

Governor Jim Hunt was a once-in-a-generation leader — a tireless champion for North Carolina and for public education. His life was defined by service to others, and his impact on our state will be felt for generations. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. He will be deeply missed.

Members of Congress shouldn’t be able to trade stocks—period. I’m glad @roycoopernc.bsky.social is supporting a ban. When I was elected to Congress, I co-sponsored that legislation and sold all my individual stocks before taking the oath. No one should be able to profit from inside information.

Heartbroken for the Brown University community after yet another mass shooting. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for kids in the US. As a father of two, we’re well past thoughts and prayers—it’s time for action. As Wake County DA, I’ll come down hard on those who use guns to commit crime.

Had a wonderful time last night at the Triangle Area Telegu Association’s Telugu Night, honoring @steveraoforwake.bsky.social for 14 years of service to the Morrisville Town Council. It was great to join over 3,000 members of the Telugu community for the celebration.

What a great day at the Cary Christmas Parade!🎄 Grateful for all the smiles, the waves, and the holiday spirit. Wishing everyone a very happy holiday season!

Had a wonderful time with Caroline at Governor @joshsteinnc.bsky.social’s annual holiday party — always great to see so many friends. Wishing everyone a happy holiday season.🎄

I’m running for District Attorney because Wake County deserves a justice system that’s fair, accountable, and focused on real public safety. That means taking on political corruption — whether it’s Democrats or Republicans — no free passes.

Glad to be in Morrisville this evening for an important moment for our community. I was honored to swear in Ashit Patel as he begins his work on the Town Council.

Today, I officially filed to run for Wake County District Attorney — with my amazing family by my side. I’m running for District Attorney because every person in our community deserves a justice system that is fair, accountable, and focused on real public safety. 🧵

Had a great afternoon in Fayetteville supporting Kimberly Hardy as she officially filed to run in NC’s 7th District! Kimberly shows up. She listens. She leads with heart. And she’s exactly the kind of fighter we need in DC. I’m proud to stand with her — now let’s help send her to Congress. 🇺🇸

Wake County deserves a justice system that keeps our families safe and keeps up with our growth. But today we have just 43 prosecutors, while Mecklenburg (a smaller county) has 94 — and our entire community feels the strain. 🧵

Wake County deserves accountability, transparency, and a justice system people can trust. I was glad to speak with @wral.bsky.social about why this moment is so important for our community. Join the fight for real change → wileynickel.com

Wrapped up the Inside-Out Sports 8K Turkey Trot this morning in Cary with Caroline and the kids — the perfect way to kick off Thanksgiving and earn that big meal!

What a privilege to celebrate my 50th surrounded by such an extraordinary community — thank you to the Chinese-American business, academic, and civic leaders who made Sunday so memorable. It was an honor to join Elaine Marshall for a joint birthday celebration, as we both marked milestones together

Jessica Holmes said it best: we need leaders with the audacity to change things. Together, we can build a justice system worthy of the people we serve. Join us and get involved → wileynickel.com

Thanks so much for all the kind birthday messages today — it truly means a lot. Hard to believe, but I officially hit 50. Grateful for every year, every lesson, and especially for Caroline, Prescott, and Adeline.

We had a great crowd in Cary last night for House Party #2 — with meaningful conversations about justice and public safety in Wake County. Our campaign is rooted in real grassroots organizing with free house parties across Wake County. Join the fight → wileynickel.com

Such a great night with the NC State College Democrats! A full house, big energy, and students fired up to flip North Carolina blue. We talked about fair maps — and the role the Wake County DA’s office plays in defending our democracy.🐺🐾 @collegedemocrats.bsky.social

Had a great turnout for our first campaign house party! These community conversations matter. We’re bringing these events to neighborhoods across Wake County all the way to the March 3rd primary. Grateful to Cary Town Council Member Sarika Bansal for joining us. Learn more → wileynickel.com

Out in Garner today — because talking with voters matters year-round, not just when it’s close to Election Day. The work for the mid-terms starts now. Join the fight → wileynickel.com

When trust in the system is low, leadership matters. I’m running for Wake County District Attorney to make our justice system fair, effective, and grounded in common sense. Wake County deserves a justice system people can trust. More here 👉 wileynickel.com

I worked for President @barackobama.bsky.social during some of his toughest fights — he showed that integrity and hope still matter in public service. Those same values guide my campaign for Wake County District Attorney. Join the fight → wileynickel.com 💙

Grateful to have the support of State Representative Ya Liu in my campaign for Wake County District Attorney. She spoke about the importance of having a District Attorney with the right qualities — integrity, compassion, and a commitment to justice. Join the fight → wileynickel.com

Everyone’s asking how we can end gerrymandering in North Carolina. Here’s the answer. 👉 open.substack.com/pub/wileynic...

Grateful to have the support of former North Carolina Attorney General Rufus Edmisten. He spoke about integrity, accountability, and why 20 years of experience as a practicing attorney matters. Join our campaign for Wake County District Attorney→ wileynickel.com

Today we thank all who’ve worn the uniform and defended our freedoms—at home and abroad. I’m especially proud to honor my dad’s Army service and my grandfather’s Navy service during World War II—and the values they passed down through our family. 🇺🇸

An important victory in the fight for fair maps. A Utah court just struck down a partisan gerrymander and approved districts that give Utah voters—not politicians—the power to choose their Members of Congress. www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

This is a surrender by Senate Democrats. Gave away their leverage and got nothing to bring down health-care costs for working families — just an empty promise for a vote on a bill the House GOP will reject. Democrats folded, and working families will pay the price. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/s...

After big wins on Tuesday, it’s time to keep the momentum going! We’re back knocking on doors and getting Democrats ready to vote in the March 3rd primary. Every conversation matters. Join us → wileynickel.com #NCpol #WakeCounty #VoteBlue

Honored to have the support of former State Auditor Jessica Holmes. She’s right — it’s time for change in Wake County. Join us → wileynickel.com #WakeDA #ncpol

We need prosecutors loyal to the rule of law — not Donald Trump. A nomination of loser AG candidate Dan Bishop isn’t about justice — it’s about control. Trump wants prosecutors who’ll turn a blind eye towards his MAGA allies and punish his critics. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Nancy Pelosi’s retirement marks the end of an extraordinary chapter in Congress. It was an honor to serve alongside her in the House. @pelosi.house.gov’s courage and trailblazing spirit will inspire leaders for generations — including my daughter Adeline. 💙

Outside the polls in Holly Springs with @wakedems.bsky.social endorsed candidates Annie Drees & Kara Foster. It’s a great day to vote! 🗳️ #ElectionDay #WakeCounty

President @barackobama.bsky.social is back on the campaign trail and it’s a reminder of how much leadership grounded in hope and decency still matters today. I worked for him during some of his toughest fights, and the lessons I learned about public service & perseverance are still with me today.

Grateful to join the congregation at White Oak Missionary Baptist Church in Apex to talk about faith and public service. True leadership means compassion, integrity & fairness — and working with our community to ensure justice serves everyone in Wake County.

Thank you, Norfolk! Take it from President @barackobama.bsky.social — there’s too much at stake to sit Tuesday’s election out. This is our opportunity to chart a new course forward for Virginia — and your vote will set an example for the rest of the country along the way.

Had a wonderful time at the Taste of China Festival in Cary — celebrating culture, community, and some incredible food! It was great speaking with so many friends and neighbors. 📸 Grateful to everyone who stopped by to say hello for the last day of #EarlyVote 🗳️ 👉 Learn more: wileynickel.com
