Today, the Coalition released a new slate of candidate recommendations for the 2024 General Election. Recommended candidates are running for North Carolina General Assembly seats. Coalition recommendations are non-partisan and issue-driven, based on whether a candidate agrees with our advocacy goals of fair funding and autonomy for charter schools.
View our Guidelines for Candidate Recommendations. Candidates’ names are linked to their 2024 questionnaires, assessing views on public charter schools, if they completed one.
See our Candidate Recommendations page.
