Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler has dedicated his life to faith, education, and public service. A Baptist minister, biblical scholar, and longtime community advocate, Sadler has spent decades working to advance justice, strengthen families, and improve the lives of communities across North Carolina. His leadership has been shaped by a deep commitment to service and a belief that elected officials should govern with integrity, compassion, and a focus on the people they represent.

Throughout his career, Sadler has championed affordable housing, expanded access to health care, clean water, quality childcare, and economic opportunity for working families. As Chair of the Healthcare Committee for the North Carolina NAACP, he has been a leading voice for health equity and policies that improve access to care for underserved communities. As a scholar and educator, he has also mentored and inspired generations of leaders committed to public service and social justice.

NCAAT in Action is proud to endorse Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler because he has consistently demonstrated the moral leadership, courage, and commitment to inclusion that our communities need. Throughout his career, he has spoken out against discrimination and policies that divide communities, while advocating for a North Carolina where every resident is treated with dignity and respect. His commitment to protecting immigrant communities, expanding opportunity, and building broad coalitions reflects NCAAT in Action’s vision of a stronger, more inclusive democracy.

Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler is a father, a Bible scholar, a Baptist minister, and running to represent northeastern Charlotte and Mecklenburg County in the NC State House. In 2013, he set foot in the NC General Assembly for the first time and was promptly arrested for peacefully protesting against the immoral leadership of the Republican-controlled legislature. He came home to Charlotte and realized that something had changed in his life. Sadler knew that we needed a moral movement so that we could say: we should never have a government that lifts up the wealthy on the backs of the poorest among us. In the North Carolina State House, he will be a champion for love in action, will stand up to the powerful corporate interests, and be a voice for working families. He will fight for a state where every child can receive an excellent public education. Where one job is enough to afford a home, clean water to drink, and good food to eat. Where every one of us can get quality healthcare when we need it as a basic human right.
