In 2002, Carney defeated Libertarian Daniel Elmaleh in the general election.[2] She had previously been elected in 1996 to the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners and served three terms,[3] serving as vice chairman several times.[citation needed] Carney had an unsuccessful run for school board in 1995.

During a late night House session on July 2, 2012, Carney mistakenly cast the deciding vote to override Governor Bev Perdue's veto of Senate Bill 820, granting authority to make hydraulic fracturing legal in North Carolina. A longstanding House rule that disallows changing of a vote if the vote changes the outcome of the bill prevented Carney from correcting her electronic vote to reflect her intended position.[4]
