Rodney Pierce serves as a Democratic Representative for District 27 in the North Carolina state legislature.
I look up to my maternal uncle James Pierce, who is a former chair of the Halifax County Schools Board of Education and Halifax County Commissioners. Pierce’s career experience includes working as an educator. Pierce has been associated with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the State Employees Association of North Carolina, the American Federation of Teachers, and the Governor’s Teacher Advisory Committee. Pierce earned an associate degree from Halifax Community College in 2010 and a bachelor’s degree from North Carolina Wesleyan College in 2012. I was raised by my maternal grandmother, who was the Chair of the Deaconess Board and Youth Department Supervisor of the Baptist church we belonged to, while growing up in rural, northeastern North Carolina.
