NC Justice Anita Earls (D) reveals breast cancer diagnosis, will continue reelection campaign

North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls announced Tuesday that she was diagnosed with breast cancer late last year.

“I had surgery over the holidays and will continue a course of treatment to address this disease,” said Earls in a video released on social media.

Earls told supporters that the diagnosis will not impact her ability to continue to serve on the court or campaign.

“We are not slowing down. We are not losing focus. This is just a bump in the road on the way to a win this November,” said Earls. “And we all know courageous women who have experienced breast cancer and treated it successfully, including some of our most brilliant political leaders here in North Carolina.”
