Every two years, the ERA-NC Alliance reaches out to EVERY North Carolina candidate running for Congress, the General Assembly and NC Council of State to determine their support for the Equal Rights Amendment. This year our survey is being conducted online, with follow up phone calls and visits to collect as complete a picture of candidates’ support for the ERA as possible before we all cast our votes in November.
A green checkmark means the candidate will co-sponsor and vote for the resolution to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Many candidates also returned comments with their survey.
If the candidates on your ballot haven’t responded yet, ask them to respond to the survey! A request from a voter in their district may be all it takes to spur them to action.

I’m deeply puzzled by Tricia Cotham’s inclusion on your current list of ERA-Certified candidates. Although Cotham presented herself as a feminist, pro-choice candidate when she ran for the NC House as a Democrat in 2022, she has since changed her party affiliation and voted to undermine reproductive rights in NC, creating a veto-proof supermajority for Republicans that restricted abortion access in our state last year. Cotham’s opponent in November – Democrat Nicole Sidman, who has consistently championed reproductive rights – also appears on your list, and House District 105 is the only one in which you identify more than one candidate as ERA-Certified. Has Cotham recently affirmed her support for the ERA? If so, isn’t her ERA-Certified status on your site – and your implicit endorsement of a candidate who has very publicly opposed reproductive rights in NC, misleading at best?
Hi Debora, thank you for your note. We kept Cotham on the list because she remains a co-sponsor of the ERA ratification bill that is still ‘live’ in this General Assembly session; she hasn’t removed her name. But we were conflicted about it, for all the reasons you stated. After multiple attempts to get clarity on her position without a reply, we have removed her from the list.
