{"campaigns":[{"candidatename":"Matthew Kordon","chatgptsummary":null,"notes":null,"party":"LIB","person":{"biography":"Matthew Miles Kordon is the Libertarian Party candidate for the North Carolina House of Representatives, District 11, on the November 3, 2026 general ballot [1]. The North Carolina House is the lower chamber of the state legislature; members serve two\u2011year terms, represent roughly 80,000 constituents, and are responsible for drafting, debating, and voting on state law, the budget, and oversight of state agencies [1].\n\nKordon was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and earned a bachelor\u2019s degree from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 2019 [1]. After college he entered the private sector, founding and serving as chief executive officer of his own company and working as a computer programmer, experiences he cites as giving him insight into both white\u2011collar and blue\u2011collar workplaces [1].\n\nHe first appeared on the state\u2011wide political stage in the 2024 election, where he received 2.9% of the vote (1,416 votes) against incumbent Democrat Allison Dahle and Republican Philip Hensley [1]. The Libertarian primary for the 2026 race was cancelled, allowing Kordon to advance automatically to the general election [1].\n\nKordon\u2019s campaign platform emphasizes sweeping constitutional reform to \u201crestore liberty,\u201d including term limits for elected officials, ranked\u2011choice voting, independent redistricting, and greater transparency in government operations [10]. He advocates for a robust Parent\u2019s Bill of Rights that expands school\u2011board recall options and gives families more control over education taxes [10].\n\nOn criminal\u2011justice policy, Kordon calls for a \u201crestorative justice\u201d approach: repealing laws that create crimes without clear victims, ending qualified immunity, ending warrantless searches, and shifting the system\u2019s focus from punishment to restitution and victim\u2011centered settlements [11]. He also supports decriminalizing non\u2011violent drug offenses and pardoning those convicted solely for such conduct.\n\nEnvironmental stewardship is another pillar of his platform. Kordon argues that climate change poses a real, multifaceted threat to North Carolina and calls for private\u2011sector\u2011driven solutions, reduced government interference, and the use of nuclear power, tax incentives for eco\u2011innovators, and the sale of public lands to private conservation entities where appropriate [16].\n\nKordon frequently frames the Libertarian Party as a \u201cprincipled outsider\u201d that can mediate partisan gridlock, arguing that the party\u2019s presence forces the major parties to address liberty\u2011focused issues and can shift public discourse in elections where Libertarians appear on the ballot [15].\n\nWhile his campaign has raised modest financial contributions\u2014$140 reported on Transparency USA as of the latest filing\u2014he continues to promote his libertarian vision through a dedicated website, social media, and public appearances at party events such as the LPNC 50th\u2011anniversary convention in March 2026 [18,17].\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Matthew Kordon - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Matthew_Kordon)\n- [10] [Elect Matthew Kordon | Claim Your State](https://kordonforliberty.org)\n- [11] [Restorative Justice - Elect Matthew Kordon](https://kordonforliberty.org/priorities/restorative-justice/)\n- [12] [Candidate Profiles \u2013 NC Voter Guide](https://ncvoterguide.org/profiles/)\n- [15] [Matthew Kordon - As Principled Outsiders, We Have an Obligation to Settle Political Disagreements - Libertarian Party of North Carolina](https://www.lpnc.org/matthew_kordon_principledoutsiders)\n- [16] [Matthew Kordon - June 2024 - Libertarian Party of North Carolina](https://www.lpnc.org/matthew_kordon_june_2024)\n- [17] [Libertarian Leaders Meet in North Carolina to Push Back on Government Overreach](https://natlawreview.com/press-releases/libertarian-leaders-meet-north-carolina-push-back-government-overreach)\n- [18] [Matthew Miles Kordon - North Carolina Candidate - Transparency USA](https://www.transparencyusa.org/nc/candidate/matthew-miles-kordon)\n- [20] [Who is running for election in 2026? - NCLocal](https://nclocal.org/2025/12/22/who-is-running-for-election-in-2026/)","firstname":"Matthew","lastname":"Kordon","middlename":"Miles","suffix":null,"token":"17fcf78b6084c87f"},"token":"df95UVRWq8490aX3"},{"candidatename":"Allison A.

The North Carolina House is a two\u2011year term body; members must be at least 21 years old, a qualified voter, and have resided in the district for one year prior to election [3].\n\nBorn March\u202f25,\u202f1964 in Raleigh, North Carolina, Dahle earned an Associate of Arts in theatre from Peace College (now William Peace University) and a Bachelor of Arts in theatre and speech from the University of South Carolina [6][9]. She attended Needham\u202fB.\u202fBroughton High School before moving into a career in the arts and social services. Dahle worked as a stage manager on Broadway and later for the Young Adult Institute in Brooklyn, providing services for individuals with developmental disabilities. After returning to North Carolina she continued that advocacy with The Arc of North Carolina and held various roles in human\u2011services organizations, including office manager for McMillan &\u202fSmith and a community rehabilitation specialist [9][20].\n\nDahle entered politics by defeating incumbent Rep.\u202fDuane Hall in the 2018 Democratic primary and winning the general election with 69\u202f% of the vote. She has been re\u2011elected in 2020, 2022 and 2024, most recently securing 64.7\u202f% of the vote in the 2024 contest [1][6]. During her tenure she has served on numerous committees, most notably as Vice Chair of the Election Law and Campaign Finance Reform Committee and as a member of the Appropriations, Alcoholic Beverage Control, Ethics, Local Government\u2011Land Use, Planning and Development, and Regulatory Reform committees across multiple sessions [1][4][6][20].\n\nIn the legislature Dahle has focused on education funding, affordable health care, and social\u2011justice issues, advocating for policies that protect marginalized communities, including LGBTQ\u202f+ rights. She is one of the few openly LGBTQ members of the North Carolina General Assembly, bringing that perspective to her work on equity and inclusion [20][6]. While specific bills she has sponsored are listed on BillTrack50, her legislative record reflects a consistent emphasis on election integrity, fiscal responsibility, and support for vulnerable populations [1][9].\n\nDahle\u2019s current campaign emphasizes keeping District\u202f11 \u201cblue\u201d and working to break the Republican super\u2011majority in the General Assembly, promising to continue advancing education, health\u2011care, and inclusive policies for all North Carolinians [10].\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Allison Dahle - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Allison_Dahle)\n- [3] [North Carolina House of Representatives District 11 - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_House_of_Representatives_District_11)\n- [4] [Representative Allison A.
