WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED
I'm running for re-election because our work is far from over. In my first term, I delivered on my promises. I stood firm to pass Medicaid Expansion, providing affordable healthcare to over 600,000 North Carolinians, including 40,000 in our district. I also facilitated the agreement that will bring clean water to schools impacted by PFAS contamination.
​
Despite continued attacks on voting rights, public education, and women's reproductive rights, my commitment remains unwavering. As a veteran and lifelong public servant, I will continue to fight on the front lines for our district and our state. However, I can't do it alone. Join me on this journey, and together, we can build the future we all deserve.

Cumberland County, NC needs Val Applewhite as their senator again because of her exceptional leadership and dedication to public service. As the first African American woman to represent the county in the North Carolina Senate, she has made significant strides in economic development and public safety through her committee work. With a decorated 20-year career in the Air Force and proven crisis management skills, exemplified during the 9/11 Pentagon attack, along with her impactful tenure on the Fayetteville City Council, Senator Applewhite's experience and commitment are vital for a thriving community. Her strong educational background further bolsters her ability to drive positive change.
