He’s running to represent the newly-drawn 13th Congressional district which includes Wake, Johnston, and parts of Harnett and Wayne counties.
Before opening his criminal defense law practice in Cary, Wiley worked for two White House administrations. He worked for President Obama’s White House during some of his toughest fights. Wiley also learned that finding common ground and building coalitions is the way to get real results. Fighting hard for working families became Wiley’s mission and reason for running for office.

Wiley is a former Obama White House staffer, where he saw the value of vision and leadership in making real change.

In the North Carolina State Senate, Wiley serves on the Judiciary Committee, the Redistricting Committee, and the Pensions and Retirement Committee. As a criminal defense attorney for the past decade, Wiley has worked every day to see that his clients are treated fairly and compassionately by the North Carolina justice system.

Wiley lost his father to lung cancer when he was in high school, and understands how critical it is for working families to have access to quality and affordable healthcare. After high school, he attended Tulane University and received his Bachelor’s degree before going on to complete his J.D. at Pepperdine University in 2005.
Wiley is an experienced public servant focused on making our economy work for everyone, protecting our voting rights, and investing in quality education.
