As one of the fastest growing states in the country, Anderson Clayton — who is young, quick on her feet, dynamic, and an accent — feels like an appropriate leader for a North Carolina on the move. Listen in as she shares her perspectives on the political opportunities and challenges for North Carolina in advance of, and following, the March 2026 primaries.

Anderson Clayton is the current chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party. In the 2020 election cycle, she worked in Iowa as a field organizer for the presidential campaigns of Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, then for the Senate campaign of Amy McGrath in Kentucky. In 2021, Clayton returned to her home of Roxboro, NC and was elected chair of the Person County Democratic Party. In February 2023, Clayton was elected to a two-year term as chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party. Under her leadership, the NCDP has run candidates in all 50 NC Senate districts and 118 out of 120 NC House of Representatives districts in the 2024 cycle.
