Freeman’s decision to run for the NC State Senate is driven by the urgent need to build a more just and equitable state for all North Carolinians. “It has been an incredible honor to serve Durham, and I am ready to bring that same passion for justice to the state level. North Carolina can and must be a place where every person has access to dignity, opportunity, and the freedom to live without fear or injustice,” Freeman stated.

As she seeks to represent the people of District 22, Freeman’s focus will be on advancing policies that honor our collective humanity. “We must build a state where justice is not a privilege, but a right and where every individual, regardless of race, background, or income, can live a life free from discrimination, fear, or inequity,” Freeman emphasized.

Now, more than ever, Freeman believes that unity and collaboration are the keys to creating lasting change. Her vision for North Carolina is one where the values of justice, liberation, and sustainability are not only at the center of policies but also in the hearts of every community. “We have the power to create a future where workers are supported, small businesses thrive, and all people have access to healthy homes, clean air, and safe streets. Our collective well-being is the foundation of our progress, and together, we can build a state that reflects the very best of us,” Freeman said.

Freeman is committed to working with people from all walks of life to find innovative, community-based solutions that advance:

• Economic justice: Providing pathways to economic mobility for marginalized communities, supporting workers, and fostering a sustainable economy.
  
  

• Health & safety: Promoting community-driven responses to violence and prioritizing public health initiatives that protect all North Carolinians.
  
  

• Sustainable living: Creating policies that improve housing, transportation, and environmental justice, ensuring that all communities have access to clean water, green spaces, and affordable living.
  
  

Freeman’s candidacy is a call to action for North Carolina where justice, equity, and our shared humanity are at the heart of every policy decision.
