WCDP Election Central – Candidate Information

James Weldon Whalen
NC Court of Appeals Judge Seat 03

Candidate Statement:

James Whalen is fighting to protect our rights. As an attorney, he fought gerrymandering, halted legislative overreach, and stopped a dangerous attempt to discard thousands of votes and undo Justice Allison Riggs's victory. In this moment of crisis, we need his experience on our Court of Appeals.

Top Issues:

Our current court majorities have damaged our state by allowing extreme partisan gerrymandering, blocking nearly $1 billion in public school funding, and attempting to discard thousands of lawful ballots. James will reliably uphold our constitution.
