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.

Evonne S. Hopkins has spent her legal career advocating for children, families, and individuals navigating some of life’s most difficult challenges. As founder and managing attorney of the Raleigh Law Center, Hopkins has built a respected family law practice while also dedicating countless hours to pro bono service. Her commitment to expanding access to justice earned her recognition as a North Carolina Bar Association Pro Bono Hero, reflecting a career defined by service as much as professional achievement.

In the General Assembly, Hopkins would bring the perspective of an attorney who has worked directly with North Carolina families confronting issues involving child welfare, domestic violence, guardianship, and financial hardship. Her legislative priorities emphasize strengthening public education, protecting vulnerable children, expanding access to affordable health care, and ensuring government remains responsive to the people it serves. She believes effective public policy begins by listening to communities and addressing their everyday concerns with compassion and practical solutions.

NCAAT in Action is proud to endorse Evonne Hopkins because of her unwavering commitment to justice, public service, and strengthening North Carolina families. Her record demonstrates the empathy, integrity, and collaborative leadership that help build communities where every resident can succeed.
