Rep. Wiley Nickel On Running for US Senate, Bringing Back Reform, and How We Can Fight Back
About this episode
In this episode, we sit down with U.S. Representative Wiley Nickel to talk about his run for the U.S. Senate in 2026 and what it will take to flip North Carolina blue. Rep. Nickel lays out his vision for bringing back reform to a broken Congress, restoring fair maps, protecting democracy, and pushing back against far-right extremism in Raleigh and Washington alike.
We dig into why he’s running, what he wants to accomplish if elected, and how everyday North Carolinians can move from frustration to action. From protecting fundamental rights to rebuilding trust in our institutions, this conversation is a roadmap for how voters, organizers, and communities can help shape a more just, representative, and responsive government.
