February 24, 2023, 5:06 AMAt 25, Anderson Clayton has been given a difficult task:In February, Clayton was elected to a two-year term as the new chair of the state party, ousting first-term chair Bobbie Richardson, 48 years her senior and the first Black person in the role.
She then worked on one of North Carolina Rep. Kathy Manning's campaigns. She made her way to national politics as a staffer on the 2020 presidential campaigns for Vice President Kamala Harris and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. by more than 100,000 votes and Democrats losing races for the state Supreme Court. Republicans nearly won a supermajority in the state legislature, which would have allowed them to override Cooper's veto.
The North Carolina NAACP did not respond to ABC News' request for comment. Richardson, the former state chair, said she had no comment. Clayton also argues that North Carolina's races are, despite the last decade-plus, being overlooked by national Democrats who have instead focused more on battlegrounds in Arizona, Georgia and elsewhere.
