Boseman is the only openly gay member of the North Carolina legislature, and represents the state’s ninth Senate district, covering much of New Hanover County. She was first elected to the Senate in 2004, having previously served four years on the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners. Born and raised in New Hanover County, Boseman attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington before going on to North Carolina Central University in 1992 for a law degree.
Boseman was a candidate for re-election in 2006, and defeated her Republican opponent, Al Roseman by an unexpectedly large margin of 11,000 votes.

During the 2005 to 2006 term, Boseman was ranked the 20th most effective senator (of 50), giving her the highest ranking ever for a first-term female senator and the second highest ever for a freshmen member of the legislature according to the North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research (NCCPPR).

I am sickened that our state is represented this way.
You are sickened that a lesbian is a member of the N.C. Senate?
JULIA CHEATED FOR YEARS ON HER “WIFE” AND KID AND THE 20 SOMETHING YEAR OLD SHE HAS FOLLOWING HER AROUND NOW CHEATED ON HER “WIFE”-GREAT CHARACTER. I WOUDN’T VOTE FOR HER IF I WAS PAID BIG MONEY.WHO CARES IF SHES GAY, HELL, I AM, BUT ITS ABOUT CHARACTER WHICH SHE DOESNT KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT
CM… I don’t give a damn about gay or lesbian drama. Julia Boseman does her job and I haven’t heard a word about her cheating on her wife. Besides, I guess if it is true, then she’s fitting right in with a lot of the politicians in this world.
CM, I agree. And yes, through inner circles I have heard the same. She not only cheated on her wife, well lets just say, I agree CM. Maybe Wilmington doesn’t want just another politician. Maybe Wilmington wants someone who is right and GOOD. Matt, you don’t have very high expectations, huh? Sad, I guess. You obviously havent followed the news on the battle between her EX wife (now that she has been cheating for YEARS with several different people). THEY (Julia and the 20 something) are living in my neighborhood! I guess every 50 year old woman has to go through a midlife crisis and get a puppet.Cheers to you CM ! Matt, if your expectations of hanover county are that low, I guess you’ll never be disappointed.
WILLIAM- YOU, MY DEAR, HAVE SOME SENSE ABOUT YOU. CHEERS TO YOU!! AND I’M SO SO SORRY YOURE NEIGHBORS WITH THEM. HOWEVER I AM JEALOUS OF BOTH OF YOU BECAUSE YOUR HOUSES ARE BIGGER THAN MINE. HA. HERES TO A NEW HANOVER COUNTY WITH HIGHER EXPECTATIONS!!! SOME OF YOUR LINES HAD ME ROLLIN’
There is a line between personal lives and professional lives…do you dump your friends because they have sorry jobs, can’t keep a job, are in credit card debt? Do you dump them because they get involved in a relationship you know won’t last or they got wild last night?
There is not one president in our United States who could pass muster if we held them to high morals on all counts…Martin Luther King either…fortunately, we DO draw a line.
I like Julia…wish we had more like her.
then your morals are low and your ability to judge right from wrong. you like her? probably because you don’t KNOW her. when someone who knows her and used to be her friend writes that she is a person of horrible character who has repeatedly lied and cheated-that should be a sign that there is a problem.
CM- I agree. You wish there were more like her? You have got to be kidding. Maybe you want more drug dealers, murderers and sexual predators, too? Ridiculous.
isn’t her 20 something lover a wilmington police officer and once married to a fellow “male” police officer????
ROBBY, DON’T YOU FEEL SILLY NOW THAT EVERYTHING TONY H AND I SAID HAS BEEN PROVEN TRUE AND ADMITTED TO IN A COURT OF LAW?! not to mention the numerous perjury issues that will now come out. good luck bein’ in denial, dude.
haha i think its funny how a lot of yall talk shit about my aunt. she’s a great person and has a happy family. so fuck off.
