Michael Dublin is the North Carolina Green Party's candidate for US Senate. Michael is a retired public school teacher and co-chair of the Black Caucus of the North Carolina Green Party. A native of Wake County and a graduate of North Carolina State University, he has dedicated his life to public service—from over two decades of volunteer prison ministry to nearly 25 years in the classroom. His campaign is built on the principles of People, Planet, and Progress. Michael prides himself on being "the best candidate money can't buy"—refusing all corporate PAC and lobbyist money. His platform is centered on the four pillars of the Green Party: championing lineage-based reparations and economic justice; fighting for a Green New Deal and banning AI data centers that drain North Carolina's water and energy; advancing proportional representation and ranked choice voting; and ending U.S. funding for genocide abroad while redirecting those resources to housing, healthcare, and education at home. He is a steadfast advocate for Medicare for All, a $25 minimum wage, and a foreign policy rooted in peace and human rights. Persistent, truthful, and authentic, Michael is running to give every North Carolinian a real choice—not the lesser of two evils, but a movement rooted in justice.

Robert "Bo" Whitehead is the North Carolina Green Party's candidate for US House, District 8. District 8 covers several counties in the Western Piedmont (Anson, Montgomery, Richmond, Scotland, Stanly, Union) and parts of Cabarrus, Mecklenburg and Robeson.

Bo has lived in Charlotte North Carolina for 3 years, moving there from rural Georgia. He has been happily married for 8 years, and is the primary caregiver for his wife, permanently disabled after an assault. Bo has a long and varied work history. He has been a custodian, agas station attendant, a deli worker, an auto parts representative/delivery driver, a dump truck driver, a hazardous chemical transport expert and trainer, and a shipping loader. Bo is currently working as a warehouse supervisor.

Navigating the federal and state social safety net for disabled persons, which is often arbitrary and unfair, opened Bo’s eyes to the inadequacy of government to care for the people it claimed to represent. Moreover, this inadequacy was engineered, with elected representatives constantly hacking at social programs, health care, and other social goods for the people. Yet social handouts to banks and corporations appeared to be the common practice.

This began a long journey of self-reflection and education on the underlying causes of oppression, ultimately leading to the conclusion that a system by and for the people was lacking in the US. It followed that the resources in this country should be reallocated towards building communities instead of filling the pockets of billionaires. 

Bo is no stranger to hard work, and expects to translate his work experience to Congress, where the working class is rarely represented. Solving problems rather than talking about them is Bo’s preferred way to move. Raising the minimum wage to $25 an hour, passing universal healthcare, abolishing ICE, ending wars and its crimes (including genocide), legalizing marijuana, prison reform, exposing corruption, combating human trafficking/exploitation are issues he wants to address in Congress, for a start.

Bo can be reached via email at [email protected]. His website is whiteheadforcongressnc.carrd.co., and you can follow him on Instagram at @whitehead_for_congress_nc. Volunteers, media, and donors can reach Bo at (828) 459-6050.

Joshua was an activist with Occupy Raleigh, formed to resist the burden of excessive debt, the spread of widening financial inequality, and the planned indifference of government to public well-being.

He is a current co-chair of the NC Triangle Local, Co-Convenor of the Anti-War/Anti-Imperialism Working Group and a member of the Ecosocialist Working Group of the Socialist Party-USA, as well as a member of the NC Green Party.

Jeanine Couto is the North Carolina Green Party's candidate for Guildford County Commissioner, District 3.  

Jeanine is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Portuguese at Winston-Salem State University, Department of World Languages and Cultures, and has been serving as the Interim Chairperson of the Department since 2025. Jeanine is a native of Brazil and a dual citizen of Brazil and the U.S.A.

Jeanine graduated from UNC in 2006 with a Ph.D in Comparative Literature. She decided to make Guildford County her permanent home in 2006, when she accepted a position at UNCG teaching Portuguese and Spanish.  She has also taught Spanish at Bennet College and A&T, and English as an Additional Language at Guilford Technical Community College-GTCC. Further, she considers community work an essential part of her carrier.

Jeanine wants to address several issues in Guilford County. Among these are the problems of affordable housing in a state that seems to build homes only for millionaires. Her international experiences have led her to conclude that an effective government for the people is one that respects the rights of all people, and preserves their dignity in the face of prejudice that manifests as racism, gender bias, and intolerance for queer and trans persons. As an educator, the decline in the quality of education in the U.S.A., driven by callous economic calculations, is of great concern to Jeanine. She wants to prevent Guilford schools from falling victim to underfunding, and to legislative interference in curricula, library collections, and the elimination of important educational programs to save a few dollars for corporate taxpayers. Jeanine also sees that Guilford will not be immune from the effects of global warming, and believes that local governments must act to avoid contributing to more greenhouse gas emissions, and also to proper zoning of polluting businesses. 

More about Jeanine and the issues she cares about can be found at her website, https://couto4ncworkers.org/ Volunteers and media can reach Jeanine at [email protected]. Jeanine may be reached directly at (336) 355- 6972. Jeanine can be reached on X at couto4ncworkers. She is also on Upscrolled and Substack.
