Mecklenburg County should be the Democratic Party’s crown jewel.

Instead, we’ve watched as we’ve come up short again and again. We know that when Mecklenburg shows up, Democrats win in North Carolina, but instead of focusing on our core communities, we’ve ignored our base in favor of flashy races that already have support. The voters have taken notice, and we’re paying the price in turnout. The path forward isn’t complicated—but we need leaders with clarity and maturity to tackle the challenges we face.

I’m Wesley Harris, and I’m running for Meck Dems Chair.

If you don’t know me, I’m a North Carolina native, a PhD economist, and the first Democrat to ever represent House District 105 in the General Assembly. In 2024, I was our party’s nominee for State Treasurer—where I fought hard to present a new vision of where our party can compete, even in a tough year for Democrats.

Now, I’m running to be our next Meck Dems Chair so that we can fight hard for our neighbors and start winning again.

Here’s how we earn back our community’s trust and start winning again.

We have everything going for us in Mecklenburg County, but we need leaders who will get our house in order. We need to give our neighbors a Democratic Party they can believe in again. As your next County Chair, I’ll put in the hard work to build a sustainable, empowered party that shows up everywhere, turns out our base, and wins.

Empower our precincts & auxiliaries to organize

Provide transparent, accountable leadership

Build sustainable infrastructure that stewards & grows our assets

Coordinate with NCDP & campaigns to avoid redundancy

Tell the world you’re all in to win!

I’m running because we need to crack the code of Mecklenburg turnout woes for the Democratic Party. We need someone who understands the dynamics of this state, can raise money, and is committed to building back our brand in the low turnout sections of Meck.
