{"biography":"Aisha O. Dew is the incumbent Democratic member of the North Carolina House of Representatives for District 107 and is seeking re\u2011election in the November\u202f3,\u202f2026 general election. She first assumed office on January\u202f1,\u202f2025 and her current term runs until January\u202f1,\u202f2027, with the 2026 Democratic primary having been cancelled, allowing her to advance automatically to the ballot [1][7].\n\nDew was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, and earned a bachelor\u2019s degree from Salem College in 2000, graduating with a concentration in arts administration. She also completed additional studies in theater at the Yale School of Drama and attended Wake\u202fForest University as part of her undergraduate experience, as noted by her professional biographies [10][12].\n\nBefore entering elected office, Dew built a career as a political strategist and consultant. She served as the state director for Bernie\u202fSanders\u2019 2016 presidential campaign and later directed African\u2011American outreach for the campaign nationally. She has held leadership positions within the state party, including first vice\u2011chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party and chair of the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party. Dew also managed the successful 2017 campaign that elected Charlotte\u2019s first African\u2011American woman mayor, Vi\u202fLyles, and has worked as a political director for Higher\u202fHeights for America, a PAC focused on recruiting and supporting Black women candidates [11][12].\n\nIn the legislature, Dew represents a district that includes parts of Charlotte and serves on the Progressive House Caucus. Her professional background is listed as \u201cconsultant\u201d on the official NC General Assembly biography, and she has sponsored legislation during her term, though specific bills are not detailed here [7][1].\n\nOutside of elected office, Dew participates in civic initiatives such as the Charlotte Commission on Reconciliation and Equity (CORE), which addresses racial and economic inequality in the city. She is also a frequent speaker on the intersection of faith, art, and politics, describing herself as a \u201cCreative Change Agent\u201d and appearing on media outlets including C\u2011Span and CNN [11][12].\n\nDew\u2019s campaign for 2026 emphasizes continued representation for District\u202f107 and advancing progressive policies, though a formal campaign website is not listed among the sources. She remains a prominent figure in North Carolina Democratic politics, combining legislative work with broader community organizing and political mentorship.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Aisha Dew - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Aisha_Dew)\n- [7] [Representative Aisha O.
