The General Assembly lists her as serving her second term in the House, with no service in the Senate [1]. She filed for re-election on December 1, 2025 and appears on the November 3, 2026 general-election ballot; the State Board of Elections records no primary in the contest and lists one other candidate, Mathew Mena of the Green Party [4].\n\nHer campaign site organizes its platform around healthcare access, housing affordability and public education [12][14]. On healthcare it calls for \"expanding Medicaid\" and addresses \"the crisis we're seeing in rural counties where hospitals and birthing centers are closing\"; on housing it says she is \"ready to work with developers and local governments to incentivize the construction of new, affordable housing\"; on education it describes children \"going to school in crumbling buildings, being forced to share decades-old textbooks\" [14]. The site's homepage carries the line \"I'm unbossed, unbought, and fighting for you\" [12]. Asked in 2022 what single law she would enact, she said she would raise North Carolina's minimum wage \"to a livable one that properly honors the labor of our state's working families\" [9].\n\n## Background and education\n\nThe General Assembly lists Brown's occupation as \"Healthcare Habilitation Worker\" [1]. The North Carolina House Democratic caucus describes her as born and raised in Winston-Salem and a lifelong resident of the city, and says her commitment to public service was inspired by her aunt, Julie Hunter [11]. She gave her age as 46 in a May 2022 candidate questionnaire [9].\n\n## Career\n\nIn that 2022 questionnaire Brown listed her roles outside politics as \"the president of Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry, the president of the Morningside & Reynolds Park Road Neighborhood Association, a board member of Experiment in Self Reliance, and an assistant to a client with disabilities,\" adding that she had previously worked \"as a substitute teacher and teacher's assistant\" [9]. The House Democratic caucus page also credits her with work promoting HIV and AIDS awareness and with serving as a substitute teacher in Forsyth County schools [11]. Her campaign site describes her as \"a community activist, a small business owner\" [12].\n\n## Office history\n\nBrown first sought the District 71 seat in 2020, challenging incumbent Evelyn Terry, who had held the office since 2012 [10]. She lost that March 3, 2020 Democratic primary, receiving 3,952 votes to Terry's 7,224 [5].\n\nShe ran again in 2022 and won the May 17, 2022 Democratic primary with 2,336 votes, against Frederick N. Terry's 1,871 and David M. Moore's 675 [6]. NC Tribune reported that Brown \"surprised some political observers when she won a Forsyth County Democratic House primary over the husband of the longtime lawmaker who currently holds the seat, Rep. Evelyn Terry,\" and noted that \"no Republican filed for the seat, so Brown was effectively elected when she won the primary\" [9]. She went on to win the November 8, 2022 general election as the only candidate on the ballot, with 18,196 votes [7]. She was re-elected on November 5, 2024, again as the only candidate on the ballot, with 31,755 votes [8].\n\n## Legislative record and accomplishments\n\nIn the 2025-2026 session Brown sits on the House Agriculture and Environment; Alcoholic Beverage Control; Appropriations; Appropriations, General Government; and Commerce and Economic Development committees, and on the Joint Legislative Economic Development and Global Engagement Oversight Committee [2].\n\nThe General Assembly's bill record for the 2025-2026 session lists her as a primary sponsor on 41 bills, of which she is the first primary sponsor on 21 [3]. Measures on which she is the first primary sponsor include several specific to her district: HB 1087, Smith Reynolds Airport Hangar Improvements; HB 1170, Funding for Winston-Salem; HB 1194, Winston-Salem/Forsyth Joint EOC Funds; and HB 1226, Winston-Salem/Forsyth Co. Planning & Zoning [3]. Others include HB 344, the Litter Reduction Act of 2025; HB 965, Environmental Rights Constitutional Amendment; HB 1052, Cure Violence Program Grant; and HB 1224, Local Gov. Assisting Affordable Housing [3]. She is also a primary sponsor of HB 392, Funds/Forsyth United Way/Summer Learning [3]. As recorded by the General Assembly, the bills she primary-sponsored in this session remain referred to committee; none has been enacted [3].\n\n## Family\n\nBrown describes herself on her campaign site as \"the proud mother of a child with Autism\" and cites that experience as the reason she prioritizes early investment in children, including after-school programs and financial literacy [13]. The House Democratic caucus page repeats this description [11].\n\n## Sources\n[1] [Representative Kanika Brown - Biography](https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/Biography/H/795) - North Carolina General Assembly, accessed 2026-07-31\n[2] [Representative Kanika Brown - Committees](https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/Committees/H/795) - North Carolina General Assembly, accessed 2026-07-31\n[3] [Representative Kanika Brown - Introduced Bills](https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/IntroducedBills/H/795) - North Carolina General Assembly, accessed 2026-07-31\n[4] [2026 Candidate Filing List (Candidate_Listing_2026.csv)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/Elections/2026/Candidate%20Filing/Candidate_Listing_2026.csv) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-31\n[5] [Precinct-level results, March 3, 2020 primary](https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2020_03_03/results_pct_20200303.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-31\n[6] [Precinct-level results, May 17, 2022 primary](https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2022_05_17/results_pct_20220517.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-31\n[7] [Precinct-level results, November 8, 2022 general election](https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2022_11_08/results_pct_20221108.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-31\n[8] [Precinct-level results, November 5, 2024 general election](https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2024_11_05/results_pct_20241105.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-31\n[9] [Get to know Rep.-elect Kanika Brown](https://nctribune.com/news/2022/may/27/get-to-know-rep-elect-kanika-brown/) - NC Tribune, accessed 2026-07-31\n[10] [North Carolina House District 71: Get to know Democratic candidate Kanika Brown](https://www.wxii12.com/article/kanika-brown-heads-local-neighborhood-association/30941875) - WXII 12 News, accessed 2026-07-31\n[11] [Kanika Brown - House District 71](https://nchousedems.com/our-members/kanika-brown-house-district-71/) - North Carolina House Democrats, accessed 2026-07-31\n[12] [Home - Kanika Brown](https://electkanikabrown.com/) - Elect Kanika Brown campaign site, accessed 2026-07-31\n[13] [Meet Kanika Brown](https://electkanikabrown.com/about) - Elect Kanika Brown campaign site, accessed 2026-07-31\n[14] [Platform - Kanika Brown](https://electkanikabrown.com/platform) - Elect Kanika Brown campaign site, accessed 2026-07-31\n","birthdate":null,"firstname":"Kanika","fullname":"Kanika Shevon Brown","lastname":"Brown","middlename":"Shevon","suffix":null,"summary":"Kanika Brown is the Democratic incumbent for North Carolina House District\u202f71, seeking re\u2011election in 2026.","token":"08fd00ded61f54a3"},{"bio_snippet":"Incumbent Transylvania County Clerk of Superior Court Kristi Baynard Brown seeks re\u2011election in 2026, emphasizing her 23\u2011year court experience and support for a new courthouse.","biography":"Kristi Baynard Brown is the incumbent Clerk of the Superior Court for Transylvania County, North Carolina, and is seeking re\u2011election as the Republican candidate in the November\u202f3\u202f2026 general election. The Clerk of Superior Court is the chief administrative officer for the county\u2019s superior court, responsible for maintaining court records, processing filings, managing juror services, and overseeing the court\u2019s financial and personnel functions. Brown has held the elected clerk position since December\u202f2016, after more than two decades of service within the clerk\u2019s office.[9][11]\n\nBrown is a native of Transylvania County and has spent the bulk of her professional career in the county\u2019s judicial system. According to a feature in the Transylvania Times, she has worked in the clerk of court\u2019s office for 23\u202fyears, gaining extensive experience with the day\u2011to\u2011day operations of the Superior Court and building relationships with residents handling estate, family, and other legal matters.[9] An opinion piece in the same publication emphasizes her 18\u202fyears of hands\u2011on experience in the Superior Court clerk\u2019s office, describing her as \u201cthe only candidate truly qualified to continue to provide department leadership.\u201d[10] A local news report from WLOS notes that she has served as Superior Court clerk for 22\u202fyears, underscoring her long\u2011standing familiarity with the court\u2019s functions and challenges.[11]\n\nDuring her tenure, Brown has been an advocate for modernizing court facilities. In January\u202f2024, Transylvania County commissioners voted to construct a new courthouse, and Brown publicly supported the move, citing accessibility issues, limited space for juror pools, and the need for updated infrastructure to serve the roughly 6,000 monthly visitors to the courthouse.[11] Her statements highlighted concerns about the historic building\u2019s lack of disability access and cramped hallways, reinforcing her focus on improving service delivery for the public.\n\nWhile specific details about Brown\u2019s education are not provided in the available sources, her career trajectory within the clerk\u2019s office suggests a deep familiarity with court administration and local government operations. Her long tenure and public statements indicate a commitment to professional competence, community service, and the efficient operation of the Superior Court.\n\nIn the 2026 race, Brown\u2019s platform centers on continuing the work she has already begun: maintaining accurate court records, ensuring timely processing of legal documents, and supporting the county\u2019s efforts to upgrade courthouse facilities. Her experience and incumbency are presented as key qualifications for voters seeking stability and expertise in the county\u2019s judicial administration.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [North Carolina elections, 2026 - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_elections,_2026)\n- [3] [BROWN, DON - Candidate overview - FEC.gov](https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/H4NC08074/)\n- [4] [Upcoming Election | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/upcoming-election)\n- [5] [Candidate Lists | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/results-data/candidate-lists)\n- [6] [2026 United States Senate election in North Carolina - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_Senate_election_in_North_Carolina)\n- [7] [Candidate Profiles \u2013 NC Voter Guide](https://ncvoterguide.org/profiles/)\n- [8] [Kristi Brown, Realtor | Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/kristibrownrealty/)\n- [9] [Transylvanian of the Week: Kristi Brown | Features | transylvaniatimes.com](https://www.transylvaniatimes.com/features/transylvanian-of-the-week-kristi-brown/article_18f5bccc-4e75-11ee-b9bb-bfe23fde2976.html)\n- [10] [Kristi Brown For Superior Court Clerk | Opinion | transylvaniatimes.com](https://www.transylvaniatimes.com/opinion/kristi-brown-for-superior-court-clerk/article_44651f2a-ed43-586c-bb7c-b0594b83d47a.html)\n- [11] [Transylvania County courthouse to be preserved as historic site after vote for new one](https://wlos.com/news/local/transylvania-county-courthouse-1800s-preserved-historic-site-after-vote-new-building-modern-accessibility-relocate-morris-road)\n- [12] [Kristi Brown, North Carolina (74 matches): Phone Number, Email, Address - Spokeo](https://www.spokeo.com/Kristi-Brown/North-Carolina)","birthdate":null,"firstname":"Kristi","fullname":"Kristi Baynard Brown","lastname":"Brown","middlename":"Baynard","suffix":null,"summary":"Incumbent Transylvania County Clerk of Superior Court Kristi Baynard Brown seeks re\u2011election in 2026, emphasizing her 23\u2011year court experience and support for a new courthouse.","token":"4ccc09ccde9af565"},{"bio_snippet":"The provided source lists candidate filing deadlines and document links for Tennessee elections but contains no specific metadata for Larry Jeremiah Brown.","biography":"## Current office and 2026 campaign\n\nLarry Jeremiah Brown is a candidate for the Tennessee House of Representatives District 11 in the 2026 general election [1].
