Governor appoints Amanda Cook to fill North Carolina House District 60 vacancy
Summary
Governor Josh Stein signed a proclamation appointing Amanda Cook of Guilford County to fill the unexpired term left by Representative Cecil Brockman’s resignation; Cook will be sworn in and seated at a later date.
The governor of North Carolina signed a proclamation appointing Amanda Cook of Guilford County to serve as the representative for State House District 60, the House announced during a brief administrative session.
A reader presented the proclamation to the chamber, saying the appointment follows the resignation of Representative Cecil Brockman, who resigned effective Oct. 31, 2025. The proclamation states the vacancy is being filled under the process set out in North Carolina General Statutes §163-11 and names Cook as the executive committee’s recommended appointee for the unexpired term.
The House noted the appointment and welcomed Cook and her mother to the gallery. The body recorded that Cook “will be sworn in and seated at a later date.” The proclamation included the governor’s signature, Josh Stein.
The appointment was announced as part of routine business; no roll-call vote was recorded on the floor. The proclamation as read indicated the appointment fills the unexpired term through February 2026, and that the selection came at the recommendation of the Democratic executive committee for State House District 60.
