The Democratic primary scheduled for March\u202f3,\u202f2026 was canceled, allowing Wiles to advance without appearing on the primary ballot [1].\n\nWiles lives in Winston\u2011Salem, North Carolina, and describes herself as a healthcare clinician and a millennial mother of two. She volunteers in public schools and with the unhoused community, and is active in local groups such as Forsyth Democratic Women, Camel City United Indivisible, and Fuerza Triad [16][20].\n\nHer platform focuses on expanding affordable healthcare, establishing universal pre\u2011K, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and increasing taxes on corporations, millionaires and billionaires to fund public services. She emphasizes strengthening public schools, addressing the housing crisis, and building an economy that works for working families [16][20].\n\nWiles highlights her grassroots campaign as a major accomplishment, noting that it is powered by small donors, volunteers, and neighbors rather than large\u2011scale money. She says the campaign aims to bring accountability, transparency, and community\u2011centered leadership to the state legislature [20].\n\nEndorsements for her candidacy include the Progressive Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party, Bull City\u202fAnna, the Center for Freethought Equality, and several progressive slate groups, as listed on her Ballotpedia profile [1].\n\nWiles\u2019 campaign website provides additional details about her people\u2011powered plan and offers a way for supporters to learn more and get involved [20].\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Jen Wiles - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Jen_Wiles)\n- [16] [Our Favorite Progressive Candidates in 2026 - Jen Wiles ...](https://www.instagram.com/p/DXXJS1oj-hu/)\n- [20] [Our Favorite Progressive Candidates in 2026 - Jen Wiles, North Carolina General Assembly District 75 \u2014 Jejune Magazine](https://www.jejunemagazine.com/home/jen-wiles-north-carolina-general-assembly-district-75)","firstname":"Jennifer","lastname":"Wiles","middlename":"Reich","suffix":null,"token":"5e7fa9e2c575ac8f"},"token":"az_EFPoPUam_8mbS"},{"candidatename":"Donny C.
