North Carolina Supreme Court Election
Incumbent Justice Allison Riggs is the best chance at stopping the ultraconservative MAGA takeover of North Carolina.
Riggs is currently a justice on the North Carolina Supreme Court. Riggs joined the court in 2023 after her appointment by Gov. Roy Cooper (D). Prior to joining the supreme court, Riggs served as judge on the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Riggs spent 14 years advocating for marginalized and disenfranchised communities at the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. She fought for North Carolinians’ voting rights and civil rights in front of judges in the state all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. On the bench, Riggs stands against the court’s ultraconservative majority as a voice of dissent and gives every individual a voice in the justice system.
Her opponent, Judge Jefferson Griffin, said he is inspired by conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s extremist legal philosophy. This extremist ideology will put voting rights, access to abortion, the LGBTQ+ community, and freedoms for women and people of color at risk in North Carolina. Griffin also joined an anti-abortion decision supporting that life begins at conception. If elected, Griffin would be a threat to your most cherished constitutional rights and freedoms.
Griffin was handpicked by conservative Chief Justice Paul Newby to take over the court and cement conservative power across all levels. As chief justice, Newby has greenlit partisan gerrymandering, eliminated separation of powers, delivered favorable decisions for companies he invested in, and led a witch hunt against Justice Anita Earls, the court’s only Black woman.
