The Honorable Chaz Beasley on the Legislature, Lessons to Learn, and How the Left Can Change For The Better

Today, we’re sitting down with someone who’s been in the thick of it — The Honorable Chaz Beasley.

Chaz represented House District 92 in the North Carolina General Assembly, serving part of Mecklenburg County during a time of major growth and political transformation. A Yale and Georgetown Law graduate, he brought a fresh, policy-driven voice to Raleigh — and he didn’t stop there.

In 2020, Chaz ran statewide for Lieutenant Governor, bringing attention to issues like economic mobility, education equity, and justice reform — all with a focus on building a North Carolina that works for everyone, not just those with power.

Today, we’ll talk about his time in the legislature, lessons from running a statewide campaign, and what the future looks like for Democrats in a state where the stakes have never been higher.
