{"biography":"Allison Anne Dahle is the incumbent Democratic member of the North Carolina House of Representatives for District\u202f11 and is seeking re\u2011election in the November\u202f3,\u202f2026 general election [1]. 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.
