Biography:
Emily Charlotte Peebleton was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on June 20, 2001. The daughter of a store manager and a warehouse worker, she moved to Charlotte, North Carolina at the age of 12. In January 2019, at the age of 17, Peebleton came out as transgender.
After graduating high school later that year, Peebleton attended UNC Charlotte and began working on Jeff Jackson's Senate campaign. On Jackson's campaign is where Peebleton would meet her future wife, Betty Brown. Becoming notable among the North Carolina Democratic Party, and especially among Mecklenburg Democrats, Peebleton drew positive comparisons to the late Mo Udall.
When Vi Lyles announced that she would not seek a fifth term in 2025, the 24-year-old Peebleton was prompted to run for the open seat. Peebleton was elected mayor after a hard-fought campaign on November 4, 2025, making her the youngest and first openly LGBT mayor of Charlotte. She won re-election much more easily in 2027, shortly after securing the 2036 Summer Olympics.
In September 2028, it was announced that Troian Bellisario would be rebooting her father's series, Quantum Leap, and by October, Peebleton, an avid fan of the original Quantum Leap, had convinced Bellisario to produce the series in Charlotte. In a controversial move, Peebleton was cast as Sam Beckett in the reboot when the first choice, Alex Kelly, declined, citing schedule issues and a reluctance to commit to a full time television role. Peebleton resigned on New Years' Eve, 2028, and production on the series started on January 8 the next year.
Shortly after production wrapped on Quantum Leap in March 2037 after nine seasons, Senator-turned-Governor Jeff Jackson suggested that Peebleton run for Senate against embattled incumbent Patrick McHenry. Peebleton declared for the race in October of that year, and, alongside Danica Roem of Virginia, became one of the first openly transgender Senators after she defeated McHenry by a 1-point margin.
