It's time for real leadership

​

Addul Ali is the common-sense candidate for North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District, bringing a life story that reflects the grit, struggle, and hope of the communities he seeks to serve. Born—along with his twin brother—to a teenage mother, Addul grew up in the social services system, shaped by the realities of domestic violence and family substance abuse. Instead of allowing those hardships to define his future, he used them as fuel to build a better life.

​

Today, Addul Ali stands as a living example of the American Dream—a family man, veteran and successful entrepreneur who has spent his life working, not waiting, for change. His journey gives him a deep understanding of what working families, survivors of violence, and vulnerable children in the 12th District face every day.

While many in Washington have grown disconnected, Addul believes it’s time for fresh leadership rooted in real-world experience, not career politics. He is running because he hears from residents who feel that longtime elected officials—including Alma Adams—haven’t delivered the results working families and survivors of violence urgently need.

​

Addul Ali is ready to bring accountability, compassion, and common sense back to Congress—so the people of NC-12 finally get the effective, responsive leadership they deserve.
