Meet Senator Natasha Marcus

Natasha Marcus was a three-term North Carolina State Senator from 2019 through 2024 and was the 2024 Democratic Nominee for North Carolina Commissioner of Insurance.

During her six year tenure in the North Carolina Senate, Natasha Marcus stood for people over ideology, individual freedoms, and smart investments in the state's future. Senator Marcus served on the Senate Commerce and Insurance, Judiciary, Redistricting & Elections, Budget, and Education committees. 

Natasha earned her undergraduate degree in public policy from Hamilton College and her law degree from Duke University. After passing the bar exam, Natasha practiced law at the Brooks, Pierce law firm doing civil litigation and clerked for a federal judge in Greensboro. Natasha is the proud mother of two adult daughters -- one is an elementary school teacher and the other is a PhD researcher -- and the mother-in-law of an active duty Naval Officer.

Natasha has been on the front lines of community work for decades, including Moral Monday protests, gun violence prevention, Habitat for Humanity builds, marches in support of women’s rights and Black Lives Matter, volunteering at the local free health clinic, leading volunteers on the Obama and Clinton campaigns, co-founding the Democrats of North Mecklenburg group, and organizing voter registration drives. She also mentors young women who are interested in seeking elected office. 

When not advocating for her community and constituents, you can find Natasha on a run through Davidson, playing trivia at a local coffee shop, fostering stray cats and kittens, or reading to keep up with her book club.
