Republicans gerrymander at the state legislative level. That's how they hold power. There are 100 winnable seats in the South in 2026. With your help, we'll win these seats, protect representation for Black voters, and make it harder for Republicans to gerrymander. If you care about democracy, you care about the South.

Chris Bishopp brings nearly four decades of public service and leadership experience to his campaign for the North Carolina House of Representatives. During a career spanning more than 38 years as both a U.S. Naval Officer and Federal Air Traffic Controller, Bishopp developed a firsthand understanding of the importance of accountability, sound decision-making, and public service. His experiences working in complex, high-stakes environments shaped his belief that government functions best when it is focused on serving people rather than special interests.

Bishopp is running to bring a practical, common-sense approach to the General Assembly and to ensure the state government remains responsive to the needs of North Carolina families. He believes every resident deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of background, and that elected officials should be guided by integrity, fairness, and a commitment to improving the lives of the people they represent.

NCAAT in Action is proud to endorse Chris Bishopp because of his lifelong commitment to public service and his belief that government should work for all North Carolinians. His commitment to treating every person with dignity and respect, together with his willingness to engage with and support North Carolina’s growing Asian American community, reflects the inclusive leadership and community-centered values that guide NCAAT in Action’s work.
