Before entering state politics she served three terms on the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners, beginning with her first election in 1996, and held the vice\u2011chairmanship on several occasions. She also made an unsuccessful bid for a school\u2011board seat in 1995 [10].\n\nCarney was first elected to the North Carolina House in 2002, defeating Libertarian Daniel Elmaleh in the general election. Since then she has been re\u2011elected every two years, often running unopposed or winning by large margins.

House rules prevented her from changing the vote after the outcome was determined, drawing statewide attention to electronic voting procedures [10].\n\nIn addition to her legislative duties, Carney is active in community organizations, including the Junior League of Charlotte, where she is listed as a member of the organization\u2019s leadership team [17].
