COUNT IT! Pettyluuuuuuyah. ✝️🇺🇸🙌🏽
ELECTED: RNC Committeewoman, Felice Pete.
Felice Pete was elected RNC Committeewoman on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at the North Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee Meeting, State Convention, Greensboro, NC.
Nominated by Addul Ali, God-first Republican Felice Pete proceeded to bring the house down, followed by a standing ovation.
It was especially moving given Dakota Cook--North Carolina State Director for the Republican National Committee--had just delivered a firestorm, laying out, in no uncertain terms, the targeted, imminent threat of the Communist, Socialist and Radical Left Progressive agenda in the Old North State.
Raised on a farm in rural Eastern North Carolina, Felice Pete is known for her faith forward, high-octane-compassion fueled demeanor. She is a nurse anesthetist, specializing in open heart surgery. She prays with her patients before and during their surgery and connects with them afterwards.
Pete served as president of the Wake County Republican Women and her messaging strongly aligns with NCGOP leadership: heavily promote the "America First" agenda, focus on grassroots volunteer deployment, and advance Republican principles up and down the ballot. Additionally, her "Black Republican Identity" emphasizes political independence, placing values over representation. She has argued that African Americans "should not be beholden to one party 95% of the time" and frames her political stance around core Republican tenets: "I believe that the Republican Party is the party of freedom and liberty... It is the party of free markets and it is the party of free choices."
During her address, she joked about the value add of embracing a little petty readiness once in a while so we thought the nod was fitting.
We graciously thank Fern Shubert, as she too was on the ballot for the role. Fern has served North Carolina well and that dedication shall not go unacknowledged. Shubert served in the NC House from 1994 to 1998 and, again, from 2000 to 2002. She then transitioned to the NC State Senate from 2002 to 2004, where she served as the Republican whip.
Congrats, Committeewoman Pete. NC just got WIFED!
