Had a great time at the @wakedems.bsky.social Family Reunion yesterday. You can feel the grassroots energy heading into the midterms. North Carolinians are fired up and ready to vote. 🗳️

It's so important to vote all the way down the ballot. Cheri Beasley lost her 2020 race for the NC Supreme Court by just 401 votes. Please tell everyone you know to vote every race, top to bottom.

As your next Wake County District Attorney, I'm saying goodbye to sarcasm. But not before one last parting shot at Donald Trump's majority in Congress. Sound on. 🔉

I served with @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social in the state Senate and in Congress. On January 1st, it'll be Attorney General and Wake County DA. Looking forward to working together again to keep North Carolina safe. Jeff explains why that partnership matters 👇 #ncpol

It was great to welcome the @ncstateaflcio.bsky.social convention to Wake County this morning. 71% of Americans support labor unions, the highest in generations. Unions built the middle class. Your vote protects it. Election Day is November 3rd. Please make a plan and vote!

Thanks to Attorney General @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social and everyone who joined us for a great campaign luncheon in Raleigh. Together we're building safer communities and a District Attorney's Office that works for all of Wake County.

Just talked to Scott MacFarlane of @meidastouch.com about North Carolina in the midterms. The MAGA Republican brand under Trump is so toxic that Dems could win 2 or more seats gerrymandered FOR Republicans. Keep an eye on #NC01 and #NC11.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 09/09/2026

The real divide in Congress isn't Democrats vs. Republicans. It's safe seats vs. competitive ones. Republicans drew mine out of existence rather than allow a real competition in November.

2026 GERRYMANDERING SCORECARD Republicans rigged the map from R+16 to R+26. Drawn, not won. They did all this — and Democrats are STILL favored to flip the House. That's how badly this is going for them.

Thanks to the Wendell Rotary for having me today. Had a great lunch and a good conversation about keeping Wake County safe and making sure our DA’s office has the resources it needs to deliver for Eastern Wake County.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 10/08/2026

2,604 cases a year. That’s the average caseload for a Wake County prosecutor, and it’s a serious threat to public safety. This was a choice. The gerrymandered Republican supermajority in Raleigh funded new prosecutors across North Carolina and left Wake with zero. Wake County deserves better.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 09/08/2026

Was great to talk with Russ Bowen at CBS17. A few months out from starting as Wake County DA, but already meeting with prosecutors and people across the county so we’re ready to go in January.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 02/07/2026

Had a great conversation with Russ Bowen on CBS 17 Local Matters — talked about what’s coming for Wake County’s DA office and why it matters for all of us (and yeah, we got into the Carolina Hurricanes and MLB Raleigh too). Tune in for the full interview.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 01/07/2026

Wake County was specifically targeted in the state budget. That’s bad for public safety here. Not by my math — by the Courts’ own formula. 🧵

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 18/06/2026

Spent the day at the NC Conference of District Attorneys’ orientation for incoming DAs. While there are still several months before I take office, the work starts now.

No AI generated graphics here. With real Canes fan @roycoopernc.bsky.social at Game 5. Wild idea: vote for the US Senate candidate who can actually name a Canes player.

Stanley Cup Final, Game 5, and Lenovo is going to be loud tonight! Proud to be a Canes fan. Let’s go win one. #SoundTheSiren

Police, firefighters, and teachers deserve to live in the communities they serve. That takes affordable housing. Proud to join Rev. Tyner in Cary to cut the ribbon on exactly that: 30 new townhomes, half affordable. This is what it looks like when a community decides nobody gets left behind.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 06/06/2026

Congrats to @xavierbecerra.bsky.social on a big win in the California Governor’s primary. I enjoyed welcoming him to my district when I was in Congress and he was HHS Secretary. Smart, thoughtful, and as this photo suggests, kind enough to laugh at my jokes alongside @roycoopernc.bsky.social.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 29/05/2026

I spoke with WRAL about red flag laws in the wake of the horrific shooting outside the Wake County Courthouse. The question isn’t whether we can prevent every tragedy. It’s whether we’re willing to use common-sense tools that can help stop some of them before lives are lost.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 08/05/2026

Wake County is growing fast — but our District Attorney’s Office has not kept pace. Thanks to Ashley Rowe and @wral.bsky.social for highlighting this important conversation. #WakeCounty #PublicSafety #Justice #NCpol

Today I had the opportunity to sit down with Ashley Rowe from @wral.bsky.social to talk about the importance of mental health courts. Tune in to WRAL for the full interview. 🎥

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 04/05/2026

Me and @markhamillofficial.bsky.social a few years back — genuinely one of the coolest people I got to meet serving in Congress. May the 4th be with you.

Today I stood at the State Capitol with educators, students, and advocates at the North Carolina Association of Educators Teachers March — because our kids deserve to come before corporate tax breaks. ❤️📚

On Tuesday, I announced a new approach to low-level and medical marijuana cases in Wake County. Beginning January 1st, when I take office as District Attorney, we’ll focus more resources on serious and violent crime—not low-level marijuana charges. Watch my interview with ABC-11 ⬇️

Happy Earth Day 🌍 This photo brings back a meaningful chapter of my life—working with Al Gore during my time in Congress, after having served as a staffer during his Vice Presidency, and later continuing that journey through his Climate Reality Leadership Corps.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 13/04/2026

Had a great visit with Governor @joshsteinnc.bsky.social today. We talked about working together to strengthen public safety, protect consumers and families, and build trust in our justice system. I’m looking forward to partnering with his office as Wake County’s next DA.

1448

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 24/03/2026

Wake County is growing fast. Our justice system isn’t. We are dead last in NC in prosecutors per capita. That means victims have to wait years rather than months for justice and repeat offenders are staying out on the streets much longer. We must do better.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 13/03/2026

I enjoyed sitting down with Russ Bowen at CBS-17 to talk about the future of the Wake County District Attorney’s Office and the work ahead to strengthen public safety and accountability in Wake County.

Still taking in Tuesday night. Grateful to the voters of Wake County for the trust you placed in this campaign. This race was about a new direction for the DA’s Office — and the work starts now. Thanks to INDY Week for taking a closer look at the campaign and what comes next. Article below ⬇️

Great to visit with NC Attorney General @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social today. We talked about working together to strengthen public safety, tackle the fentanyl crisis, and ensure accountability in our justice system. Looking forward to partnering with his office as Wake County’s next DA.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 05/03/2026

I spoke with CBS-17 yesterday about the work ahead. Now the focus is on building a stronger DA’s office, adding the prosecutors we need, and keeping Wake County safe. Thanks so much to everyone who made this possible. The work starts now.

Wiley Nickel @wileynickel.com · 04/03/2026

I’m deeply grateful to the voters of Wake County for placing their trust in me. Tonight, they voted for change — a new direction focused on public safety, accountability, and restoring trust in our justice system. I’m honored to serve — and ready to get to work.

Thanks so much to First Baptist Church for the warm welcome this morning. For more than 213 years, this church has stood for faith, justice, and service in our community. That commitment to fairness and accountability is exactly what I’ll bring as District Attorney for Wake County.
