Voters don’t skip down ballot races b/c they don’t care, they skip b/c WE haven’t given voters information about judicial elections and why they matter! Thanks Flip NC for having these critical conversations! Today is primary Election Day, and there are judicial races on your R or D ballot. Vote!

At the NC Supreme Court celebration of Black History Month, we got to see a clip from the documentary “Breaking the Booth” about the youth-led efforts to desegregate the Carolina Theater in Durham, w/ a great panel after the on legal & organizing efforts to combat segregation. #blackhistorymonth

Voting is a fundamental right in this county - make sure you exercise it during this primary election. Primary day is 3/3, but early voting continues through tomorrow. I made my voice heard today! Thanks to the Chatham County Board of Elections for how smoothly run their EV sites are! #ncpol

I’m so relieved that Justice Earls has gotten the medical care she needs to recover fully. No one is more committed than Justice Earls to serving the people of North Carolina. She & I remain clear-eyed about taking back the courts for justice, & the next step is re-electing her in 2026.

Happy holidays from my chambers to yours! The NC Supreme Court had a little Great British Bake Off action going last week. Being one of those judges = #careergoals

How wonderful to be with so many lovers of democracy to share in our commitment to protecting access to the ballot for every lawful voter. Thank you, Crooked Con, and folks from NC & beyond who showed up.

Happy Election Day! Make sure you exercise your sacred right to vote and find your polling location here: iwillvote.com

Last month, I got to attend both the district court judges and superior court judges fall conferences. As a unified judicial system, it’s important that members of the Supreme Court understand the challenges facing our district and superior court judges. I promise to always be listening & learning!

Happy Halloween! Dad, Goose and I are dispensing the treats 🎃 #trickortreat

Tonight the North Carolina Supreme Court Historical Society honored retired Chief Justice Cheri Beasley. As someone who has admired and emulated her service, and benefited from her encouragement, it was honor to be there to witness her special evening.

I'm so grateful to folks in Nash County who are committed to fighting for justice. www.rockymounttelegram.com/news/local/e...

Thanks to NC A. Philip Randolph Institute for the kind recognition and more importantly, the tireless work they do to get voters registered/activated and to make sure that every vote counts! ❤️

Yesterday was a special chance for the NC Supreme Court to celebrate our clerks and swear in many of them. I'm lucky to have these three incredible young women working for me in my chambers!

Belated happy 76th birthday to my dad! He's been through the ringer with me in the last year, supporting me in my campaign and having his vote challenged. We celebrated last week with snacks/football watching on the porch and a nice dinner.

Wilson County Dems are fired up! So fun to join folks for Wilson’s Blue Wave Bash last evening

I am so grateful to @emilyslist.bsky.social and proud to have their support. What a meaningful day highlighting how important it is to #ElectWomen

I'm so grateful to the North Carolina Association of Women Attorneys for the incredible honor of being recognized as the Judge of the Year. Coming from other women in the practice, the recognition of my commitment to the rule of law means the world to me!

Had the best time with the Iredell County Democrats last night at their annual Kennedy-Carter dinner. It was an honor to keynote the dinner, celebrate their incredible accomplishments last year, and get excited for all the voters they’ll empower in the next 13 months!

It was great to be with more than 100 young constitutional scholars and future jurists this week at Duke. Thanks to @dukelaw.bsky.social for having me.

Attending the #ncnaacp state convention is always a highlight of my year! Congratulations to President Deborah Dicks Maxwell on being elected to another term.

What a lovely Sunday evening at the @ncjustice.bsky.social 2025 Defenders of Justice awards. Reinvigorated by all the creative, committed work being done to fight for a better NC.

A little more than two years ago, Governor Cooper first appointed me to serve as your N.C. Supreme Court Justice. Thank you for electing me to keep that seat, and I pledge to continue serving the people of this state without fear or favor.

I’m honored to receive the Jan Allen Courage Award from @lillianslist.bsky.social on behalf of the millions of North Carolinians who stood up and demanded their voices be heard.

On the anniversary of 9/11, I’m thinking of the brave first responders who jumped into action to save lives, and holding close the families who lost loved ones that day.

The Pender County NAACP had a screening yesterday of the PBS documentary American Coup: Wilmington 1898 and it was such an honor to speak to them before the movie about why we must be so vigilant about learning from history. Thank you for inviting me!

Yesterday was a big day at my house. It marked 10 years since I rescued my dog Goose (and what we call his 11th birthday). He was so sick in February that I wasn’t sure we’d make it to that anniversary. But he bounced back! Cheers to a decade with the best furry friend! ❤️🐶🐾 #internationaldogday

It’s been a busy August. Earlier this month, it was honor to celebrate 90 years of the work of the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People! Their endorsement and work in Durham were critical to our victory.

Happy Indian Independence Day! Such an incredible celebration of the world’s largest democracy today in Morrisville.

“Thank you for fighting!” I’ve spent the last few days with incredibly energized organizers, from @netrootsnation.bsky.social in New Orleans to the @downhomenc.bsky.social convention in Raleigh. And this was the most common refrain I heard. It was never an option for me to do anything less.

"State courts can be the last line of defense [.…] but only if state courts are willing to serve as a check and balance against extremism in the other branches." Justice Allison Riggs @allisonjriggs.bsky.social #NN25 Opening Keynote August 8 | 5:00PM CT | New Orleans

As a current public official who placed her hand on a Bible and swore a solemn oath to uphold and defend our state and federal constitutions, I will continue to stand up to ensure that the rule of law and the will of voters will always be respected in this country that I love.

Also @ #NN25... Justice @allisonjriggs.bsky.social Senate candidate @jdscholten.bsky.social Senate candidate @abdulelsayed.bsky.social Scholar-activist @kimberlecrenshaw.bsky.social from @aapf.bsky.social Gun control activist @davidhogg.bsky.social Movement strategist ashdashlee.bsky.social

It was an incredible honor to have the support of @wearencae.bsky.social in my election last year and the fight to defend my election this year. So I was thrilled to join @friendsforbatch.bsky.social and @anitaearls.bsky.social in celebrating our public educators last night!

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Henderson County residents showed up for each other and worked hard to turn voters out in the 2024 election. It was an honor to speak to a packed house to thank them for their efforts!

Last month, I was delighted to be invited to address the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of the AME Church. Our vibrant faith communities remind us that tending to the needs of the least of us is a job for all of us.

Last month, I was delighted to join a host of amazing attorneys at the North Carolina Advocates for Justice convention in Charlotte.  I'm grateful for attorneys whose mission is protecting people, preventing injustice and promoting fairness.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."  This Fourth of July, a reminder that people hold the power, and together, we can chart a better future for this state and nation. #FourthOfJuly

Three years ago, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. SCOTUS decides what the federal constitution means - the NC Supreme Court decides what the state constitution means. North Carolinians, you have power at the ballot box to elect justices who will always defend your rights & liberties!

It is my honor to serve the people of North Carolina, and I am committed to defending the rule of law and upholding the constitution with the utmost independence and integrity. I am so grateful for all of the people who made my investiture as an Associate Justice of the NC Supreme Court possible.

On Memorial Day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thinking today of their families and all who serve. I will always stand up for your rights.

From @time.com: "From federal courts, the message is clear: as the district court in North Carolina put it last week, you can’t 'change the rules of the game after it had been played.'"

This week's highlight: swearing in Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs. I'm grateful to my colleague @allisonjriggs.bsky.social for her courage & determination to stand up for the voting rights of all North Carolinians. I'm eternally grateful to everyone who works to protect our #democracy.

Such a delight to join voters from NC CD 3 and CD 4 today for their district conventions (folks from the Outer Banks all the way to my home county, Chatham) to thank them for standing with me these last 6 months and why it matters so much to re-elect Justice @anitaearls.bsky.social next year!

Thank you for the honor of serving as your Supreme Court Justice.

My sweet mama ❤️ No way I would have survived the last 2.5 years without her! #happymothersday

This is a victory for North Carolina voters and the rule of law, but we must keep fighting to elect judges who will put the Constitution over party and personal ambition.

Yesterday was an incredible day, and today, I couldn't ask for a better birthday present than your community and support. Thank you for standing up to keep power in the hands of the people and for never giving up. It's my honor to to work alongside you to build a better North Carolina.

Today, more than six months after voters elected me to keep my seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court, my opponent conceded the election. Read my statement here.

Thank you @meidastouch.com for having me on to discuss the significance of yesterday's ruling for NC voters and eligible voters all across the country. I swore to uphold our Constitution, and it is my honor to stand up for our democracy. Watch here:

As I told @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social, yesterday was a decisive victory. This is a win for North Carolina voters and the rule of law, and underscores the need to elect judicial officials who uphold the Constitution above personal political ambition.
