North Carolina State House District 71

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “My name is Kanika Brown . I’m a community activist, a small business owner, and your Representative for North Carolina House District 71 . Since winning this seat in 2022, I’ve charted my own path in the General Assembly, fighting for my constituents’ progressive values and delivering for my community in Winston-Salem. Now, I’m running for reelection so we can keep up the work and ensure we’re able to continue fighting for healthcare access, public schools, and working families in North Carolina.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Public education & schools: “Issues relating to our children have particularly motivated me throughout my life. As the proud mother of a child with Autism, I know how important it is that we invest early in our children’s futures. From investing in after-school programs to instilling financial literacy in our young adults, our youth will always remain a priority for me.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Jobs, economy & workforce: “Now, as your Representative for House District 71, I’m bringing my experience and priorities to the General Assembly and working to be a voice for the disenfranchised in our community. Over the last two years, I’ve sponsored bills that will help empower our local governments to more effectively represent their communities, support fair maps, boost important non-profits here in Winston-Salem, help develop our workforce, and support environmental justice in communities like ours.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
