Submitted Biography: "I am a straight shooter. I am authentic. I am principled. I am not afraid to say what needs to be said. I am brutally honest (just ask my students). I love being told "No" - it motivates me to prove naysayers wrong. I was raised in ruby red rural East Texas by small business owners. My grandfather started an HVAC business in 1957 that still operates today. I was the first in my family to attend college, graduating from the University of Houston - thanks to the Pell grant, academic and music scholarships, and multiple part time jobs to pay my way. I'm not a career politician — I'm a physician associate and teacher who has spent my life in public service. I am the ONLY candidate in this race who has direct, first hand experience with healthcare, education, and national leadership. I understand what it's like to lose a job due to illness, to be denied reasonable accommodations so one can do their job, and to experience financial crisis because of that. It's all happened to me personally, and I know the consequences of poor policies and how they harm working families. Many years ago, I chose North Carolina as my permanent home. I love the people, the places, and the opportunities here. I'm committed to making sure others in NC-10 have access to the opportunities they want to pursue."

Ashley Bell (D)
Everything is too expensive. The "waste, fraud and abuse" people are creating more waste, fraud, and abuse. Millions are losing their healthcare. People can't afford rent, or to buy homes. Children are going hungry. Some veterans - people who have served our country - are homeless and without access to healthcare. And who's really thriving? Billionaires.
It is embarrassing that in the greatest country in the world, people can't afford to pay for basic needs. This has to change.
Our healthcare system is a mess from top to bottom, and has been for as long as most of us can remember. As a PA, I understand the crisis from the inside. I've treated patients who can’t afford meds, can’t access mental health care, and can’t get appointments. Don't even get me started on arguments with insurance companies. Prior authorization MUST be outlawed.
I believe healthcare providers should be calling the shots on healthcare in this country, rather than sleazy, profit driven politicians with no experience in medicine. I believe that healthcare providers have endured enough abuse in the last several years. Frontline healthcare workers (not overpaid CEOs) have to be treated better so that our patients can be treated better.
I am an action taker. While those currently in office and other candidates just talk about doing things, I actually do them. If we want change, we have to #DoSomething.
As a leader in my profession for the last 15 years, I've served on multiple boards of directors and visited Congress often to advocate for my patients, healthcare providers and students.
I LOVE fighting corruption, which is good, since there's plenty of it in Congress. When a billion dollar ed-tech company tried to exploit my students for money in exchange for poor quality education, I teamed up with the Wall Street Journal and the US Department of Education to expose their lack of ethics and poor business practices. Not long after, that company filed bankruptcy.
Steven Feldman (L)
No one wants to leave our kids a bankrupt country. But neither side has been willing to make needed changes, so the debt continues to grow like kudzu. The lack of civility in our politics makes compromise impossible—we get more spending when one side is in control and swing to tax cuts from the other. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that tax cuts without spending cuts, or new programs without paying for them, either leads to inflation or burdens our children with debt. We need to grow the economy by eliminating job-killing regulations. We all care about people in need, and the best way to help them is to create jobs. I'll work with others to implement solutions, not just blame the other side.
Everyone wants peace. We disagree about how to achieve it. Many believe peace comes from defeating enemies; I believe peace comes from making friends. Well-intended military actions have inflamed the violence we hoped to stem. We spend more on defense than the next ten nations combined, it doesn’t make us safer, and our roads & bridges crumble. Our soldiers could be trained in carpentry & plumbing, win hearts by building schools & hospitals abroad, then come home to rebuild our own infrastructure. Let's stop intervening everywhere, become a beacon of peace, and use our resources to make America great. We can defend fiercely if ever needed, recognizing that people everywhere want safety for their families just as we do.
Ashley Bell (D)
Steven Feldman (L)
Peace. War is immoral, counterproductive, & costly. We shouldn’t defeat enemies; we should make friends. This includes Israel/Palestine—I've been in the homes of my Israeli relatives and Palestinian Christian & Muslim families, too, seeing the love they all have for their children. We should support peace, not violence. Civility. People across the political spectrum share goals & values—we disagree about methods. We can work together, listen respectfully, & compromise.
Individual liberty. Let people do what they want but not hurt others. The best influence is a good role model, not government force.

Second, it’s the job of Congress to write and pass laws that actually improve people’s lives. That includes lowering healthcare costs, investing in education and workforce training, supporting small businesses, protecting our freedoms, and strengthening rural communities.
Third, a representative must provide real oversight — making sure taxpayer dollars are used wisely, holding government agencies accountable, and keeping our democracy strong and stable.
Finally, we have a responsibility to deliver for the district: bringing home resources, helping constituents navigate federal agencies, supporting veterans, and being present and accessible in the community.

Families are being squeezed by the rising cost of healthcare, housing, childcare, medications, and education. If people can’t afford to live, work, and raise a family in their own communities, then the American Dream slips further away. Fixing this means lowering healthcare and prescription costs, expanding the workforce, rebuilding the middle class, and investing in small businesses and local economies.
Second, we face deep threats to our democratic stability. Our country is more polarized than at any point in modern history. Trust in institutions is falling. Political violence, disinformation, and attacks on election integrity are real dangers. Protecting democracy means defending the rule of law, ensuring safe and fair elections, and electing leaders who will lower the temperature instead of inflaming division.
Third, we must prepare for global competition and technological change.
From cybersecurity and AI to supply chain security, climate challenges, global health threats, and our role on the world stage, the next decade will move fast. We need to strengthen our workforce, upgrade infrastructure, and protect national security without losing sight of our values or our alliances.
Ashley Bell (D)
The founders designed it so representatives would stay accessible, responsive, and accountable. If your community’s needs change, you shouldn’t have to wait six years to get new leadership.
However, I also recognize the downside: it forces members of Congress into a nonstop campaign cycle. Too many representatives spend more time fundraising and playing political games than governing. So while I respect the two-year term as part of our constitutional design, I believe the real solution is not lengthening terms; it’s fixing the political incentives.
That means reducing the influence of big money, pushing for stronger ethics laws, ending partisan gerrymandering, and building a system where representatives can focus more on serving their district and less on campaigning.
Ashley Bell (D)
However, term limits alone aren’t enough. We also need to fix the money system that keeps the same politicians in office year after year. That means reducing the influence of big donors, ending gerrymandering, and strengthening ethics rules. Otherwise, term limits just shuffle the same power from one insider to another.
So yes, I support term limits, but as part of a bigger plan to make Congress more responsive, less corrupt, and more focused on results instead of re-election. Keeping fresh voices in Washington is essential to a healthy democracy.

To me, compromise doesn’t mean abandoning your values.
It means being mature enough to sit down with people you disagree with, find common ground, and move our communities forward. We can hold firm on our principles while still looking for practical solutions.

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in North Carolina in 2026. Information below was calculated on December 19, 2025., and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Sixty-seven candidates — 40 Democrats and 27 Republicans — ran for North Carolina’s 14 U.S. House districts. That’s 4.8 candidates per district. There were 4.6 candidates per district in 2024 and 7.14 in 2022. In 2020, when the state had 13 U.S. House districts, there were 4.9 candidates per district. There were 4.3 candidates in 2018, 5.7 in 2016, and 4.6 in 2014.
These were the first elections to take place since the General Assembly of North Carolina passed a new congressional map. The North Carolina Senate passed it on Oct. 21, 2025, and the North Carolina House of Representatives passed it Oct. 22, 2025.
No districts were open in 2026, meaning all incumbents — four Democrats and 10 Republicans — ran for re-election. The only other year since 2014 with no open districts was 2018.
Nineteen primaries — 11 Democratic and eight Republican — were contested in 2026. In total, there were 13 contested primaries in 2024, 22 in 2022, 13 in 2020, 17 in 2018, 16 in 2016, and 17 in 2014.
Eight candidates — six Democrats and two Republicans — ran for the 10th district, the most candidates who ran for a district in 2026.
Eight incumbents — two Democrats and six Republicans — faced a primary challenger in 2026. There were four incumbents in a contested primary in 2024, seven in 2022, three in 2020, eight in 2018, nine in 2016, and six in 2014.
Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 14 districts, meaning no districts were guaranteed to either party.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2026 elections, based on results from the 2024 and 2020 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district is R+9. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 9 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made North Carolina's 10th the 143rd most Republican district nationally.[6]
