Ken McCool for NC

Republicans in NC are flipping, fighting, or flat-out quitting. I’m 27, running for the NC House, not for drama, but to actually get things done. They had their turn. We’ve got next.

Being the only Democrat on my Town Council hasn’t always been easy. But I didn’t sign up for easy. I signed up to serve. I’m running for State House because this is bigger than politics, it’s about building a future that works for everyone. #ncpol

I married my high school girlfriend. Our high school teacher married us. Public schools shaped my life. Now Raleigh politicians are defunding them and driving teachers out. We can’t let that keep happening. I’m running for State House to fight for our teachers and students.

Thank you so much to @BetoORourke for coming to Charlotte last night on his nationwide town hall to discuss what’s at stake this next election cycle! Great work by @NCDemParty and @MeckDems putting on a great event. Capacity crowd at @lennyboybrewing!!

Ran for office at 21. Lost by 13 votes. Got appointed 2 months later after a resignation and became the youngest elected official in North Carolina. Since then, I’ve been re-elected twice. Now I’m running for state house because I’ve shown that young people aren’t just the…

Being festive for the 4th of July festivities in Matthews! My love for our country is what makes me strive to make it better. 🇺🇸

If I had a dollar for every bad vote in Raleigh, I wouldn’t need to fundraise. But here we are. Today’s the last day of the quarter, and it means a lot. Chip in if you’re ready for something better secure.actblue.com/donate/ken-mcc…

We’re living rent-free in their heads and the lease just started. #ncpol secure.actblue.com/donate/ken-mcc…

I made history at 21 as one of NC’s youngest elected officials. Now I’m running for the state legislature and I am ready to make history again. But I need your help. Big fundraising deadline this week. Every dollar counts. Let’s do this: secure.actblue.com/donate/ken-mcc…

Today we pause to honor a promise delayed but never forgotten. Juneteenth is a testament to resilience, a celebration of freedom, and a call to keep moving forward with purpose and unity.

I announced my intention to run for NC House today. I’m ready to take the fight from Matthews to Raleigh, but I can't do it without you. Chip in today and power this campaign for common sense leadership. secure.actblue.com/donate/ken-mcc…

My name is Ken McCool and I am running for North Carolina House District 105! When I first ran for the Matthews Town Board at 21. I had no big name, no political machine. Just a deep love for this community and a determination to get to work. And we did get to work. In just a few…

Join Me for an Important Announcement! This Wednesday, June 18th at 12:15 PM, I’ll be making a very important announcement right here in Matthews—on the Town Green in front of Town Hall (232 Matthews Station Street). I’d be honored to have you there. This moment means a lot to…

Matthews Commissioner Ken McCool says he will not seek re-election

I will not be seeking re-election to the Matthews Board of Commissioners this fall. Serving our town has been the honor of my life — and we’ve accomplished so much together. I’m not going far. I’m just getting started. Stay tuned. Matthews’ best days are ahead.

Hard to believe @JHolmesLives is gone, & it's even harder to think I've only known him 4 years. Even though our time together was short, his legacy and his spirit has impacted me in a big way. Here are 800 words for @yallweekly eulogizing my friend John. yallweekly.com/p/remembering-…

Happy New Year, Matthews! Grateful for all we’ve achieved together in 2024. Here’s to a bright 2025 filled with opportunities and continued collaboration for our amazing community. Wishing you all the best in the year ahead!

He was passionate about Charlotte and just down right hilarious. I am so incredibly sad to hear of @JHolmesLives’ passing. gofundme.com/f/honoring-a-h…

Jimmy Carter was the only President I’ve ever had the honor to meet, and his humility, kindness, and lifelong commitment to serving others left a lasting impression on me. His incredible work after the presidency—building homes, advocating for human rights, and promoting global…
