“Since returning to the legislative session, it has become clear that defending democracy requires my focus and dedication,” he wrote.
Everitt was running for a second Senate term in the competitive district that includes northern Wake and Granville County. He said he will withdraw from the race.

In a statement, Senate Democratic Leader Sydney Batch of Wake County called Everitt “a fierce voice for the people of District 18 and for North Carolina.”
Everitt served three terms in the state House before winning a close Senate race by 128 votes. While a member of the House in 2023 Everitt unsuccessfully petitioned the Wake District Attorney to investigate then-Speaker Tim Moore stemming from Moore’s relationship with a state employee.
