A Democratic challenger unseated his Republican opponent Tuesday in one of the most competitive state Senate races. James Gailliard, a pastor and former state lawmaker, defeated Lisa Barnes, who was seeking her fourth term in Senate District 11, with all 51 precincts reporting unofficial results. The district encompasses Franklin, Nash and Vance counties. Gailliard posted to social media that he is “deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve.” “It is a true honor to be able to represent our communities in Raleigh, and it is a responsibility I do not take lightly,” he said. “Let’s get to work!” Gailliard, a pastor at Word Tabernacle Church in Rocky Mount who served two terms in the state House, campaigned on reforming criminal justice, increasing access to broadband in rural areas and decreasing unemployment. Barnes, a former Nash County commissioner who served one term in the House, advocated for cutting taxes, increasing access to healthcare and uplifting the agricultural community throughout her campaign.

What Gov. Josh Stein says is the message NC voters sent state politicians

The day after Democrats flipped the North Carolina House as part of a national blue wave, Democratic Gov. Josh Stein said that voters sent a message that they want “balance” in state government. Stein talked about working together with Republicans, ending partisan gerrymandering and what message North Carolina voters sent lawmakers about what they want them to do. The message North Carolina voters sent “Last night was an incredible night for the country, of course, but especially so for us here in North Carolina,” Stein told reporters during a news conference outside the Executive Mansion in downtown Raleigh. “The voters of North Carolina made their voices heard loudly and clearly. They want balance. They want common sense in their government.” “The voters want leaders who work together on their behalf. Our job as those elected leaders is to listen and to work together because we can work together to lower costs.” On getting rid of the ‘political cancer’ of gerrymandering Stein told reporters he would support an independent redistricting commission following years of Republicans gerrymandering districts in their favor. “There are a few causes of the political cancers that we suffer from in this country. Partisan gerrymandering is certainly one,”
