Alyssa Michelle Levine

Alyssa M. Levine is the incumbent judge of the North Carolina District Court, District 26, Seat 14. She began her term on January 1, 2023 and the current term runs through December 31, 2026. Levine is a Democrat and is seeking re‑election in the November 3, 2026 general election; the March 3, 2026 Democratic primary was cancelled, allowing her to advance automatically to the ballot ¹.

Levine earned her Juris Doctor from North Carolina Central University School of Law in 2013 and was admitted to the North Carolina bar that same year ¹¹. Prior to her judicial service, she practiced family law in the Charlotte area, where she was recognized as a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers in 2023 and listed as a top‑rated attorney in the region ¹¹. Her legal career has focused on representing clients in divorce, child‑custody, and other family‑law matters.

In the 2022 judicial election, Levine won the District 26, Seat 14 contest with 100 % of the vote, receiving 270,613 votes in the general election ¹. She has since served on the bench, handling civil and criminal cases arising in Mecklenburg County. In her own words, she runs for district‑court judge to “give back to our community by helping all people of Mecklenburg County move through our court system with respect and compassion,” emphasizing the need for “fair and impartial justice” and a courtroom where “all sides are heard and treated with dignity” ¹.

Levine’s campaign finances for the 2022‑2023 cycle show total contributions of $25,168 and expenditures of $2,297, with contributions from individuals such as herself, family members, and local supporters ⁹. While she has not yet completed the 2026 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey, her prior 2022 responses highlighted a commitment to listening, empathy, and community service as guiding principles for her judicial work.

Levine’s professional background, election history, and stated judicial philosophy provide voters with a clear picture of her qualifications and priorities as she seeks a second term on the district court bench.
