{"biography":"Angela McCarty is the Republican candidate for the North Carolina State Senate, District 14, on the November 3, 2026 general\u2011election ballot. The State Senate seat represents a portion of the Raleigh\u2011Durham area and carries a four\u2011year term, with duties that include drafting state legislation, confirming gubernatorial appointments, and serving on Senate committees.  \n\nMcCarty was born in Danville, Virginia, and earned a bachelor\u2019s degree from Averett University in 1987.  She has worked as an educator, though specific teaching positions are not detailed in the available sources.  \n\nHer political experience includes a prior run for the same Senate seat in 2024, where she received 23.6% of the vote (23,978 votes) against incumbent Democrat Dan\u202fBlue, who won with 73.5% [1]. The Republican primary for that race was canceled, allowing her to advance automatically to the general election.  \n\nIn the 2026 cycle, the Republican primary was also canceled, and McCarty again advanced unopposed to the general election, where she will face Blue once more [1].  No campaign finance totals, endorsements, or policy platform details are listed on the Ballotpedia page at this time.  \n\nMcCarty\u2019s background as an educator and her repeated candidacy suggest a focus on education and community issues, though specific legislative priorities have not been publicly documented in the sources provided.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Angela McCarty - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Angela_McCarty)\n- [6] [Candidate Lists | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/results-data/candidate-lists)\n- [12] [Candidate Profiles \u2013 NC Voter Guide](https://ncvoterguide.org/profiles/)\n- [14] [Results from 2026 Candidate Filing - Carolina Forward](https://carolinaforward.org/blog/results-from-2026-candidate-filing/)\n- [19] [See the full list of candidates running in North Carolina's ...](https://www.facebook.com/thecharlotteobserver/posts/see-the-full-list-of-candidates-running-in-north-carolinas-2026-electionsread-mo/1306299098202723/)\n- [20] [Angela McCarty | BallotReady](https://www.ballotready.org/people/angela-mccarty)","campaigns":[{"contest":"state_senate_014","county":"wake","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Nc State Senate District 14"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Angela","fullname":"Angela Brown Mccarty","lastname":"Mccarty","middlename":"Brown","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"state_senate_014","contest_title":"Nc State Senate District 14","county":"wake","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":null,"office_key":"state_senate","office_title":"State Senator","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":null,"cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"state_senate_014","contest_title":"Nc State Senate District 14","county":"wake","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":null,"office_key":"state_senate","office_title":"State Senator","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"REP","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"state_senate","office_title":"State Senator","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Angela McCarty is the Republican candidate for North Carolina State Senate District\u202f14 in the 2026 general election.","terms":[],"token":"2600f1d724104551"}
