  • MASTERCLASS Meet
    MASTERCLASS Meet uPaul Charles’s chameleonic qualities have made him a television icon, spiritual guide, and R the most commercially successful drag queen in United States history. Over a nearly three-decade career, he’s ushered in a new era of visibility for drag, upended gender norms, and highlighted queer talent from across the world—all while dressed as a fierce glamazon. “Be willing to become the shape-shifter that you absolutely are.” Born in San Diego, California, RuPaul first experienced mainstream success when a dance track he wrote called “Supermodel (You Better Work)” became an unexpected MTV hit (Ru stars in the music video). The song led to a modeling contract with MAC Cosmetics and a talk show on VH1, which saw RuPaul interviewing everyone from Nirvana to the Backstreet Boys and Diana Ross to Bea Arthur. He has since appeared in more than three dozen films and TV shows, including Broad City, The Simpsons, But I’m a Cheerleader!, and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. RuPaul’s Drag Race, Ru’s decade-old, Emmy-winning reality drag competition, has gone international, with spin-offs set in the U.K. and Thailand. He’s also published three books: 2 RuPaul 1995’s Lettin’ It All Hang Out, 2010’s Workin’ It!, and 2018’s GuRu, which features a foreword from Jane Fonda. Recently, he became the first drag queen to land the cover of Vanity Fair. His Netflix debut, AJ and the Queen, premiered on the streaming service in January 2020. RuPaul saw drag as a tool that would guide his punk rock, anti-establishment ethos.

Harris ("Dr. Harris") submits this Memorandum of Law in Support of his Petition for a Writ of Mandamus. Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the Executive Director of the North Carolina Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement (the "Bipartisan Board") to issue a Certificate of Election immediately. In the alternative, Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the North Carolina State Board of Elections (the "State Board") to issue a Certificate of Election as soon as it is able. In addition, Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the staff of the Bipartisan Board to release any investigation materials or report into election irregularities in North Carolina's Ninth Congressional District (the "Ninth District"), so as to remove the cloud that the Board has placed over Dr. Harris' election. INTRODUCTION On December 28, 2018, the Bipartisan Board dissolved. The General Assembly has created no immediately active successor. The Bipartisan Board's dissolution leaves the State without any body to oversee its election laws. The gap created by the Bipartisan Board's dissolution has thrown the 2018 general election cycle—a cycle that should have ended no later than December 28, 2018—into chaos.

Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise.
