Nichols ran unsuccessfully for the North Carolina House of Representatives in 2000, losing to Republican incumbent Art Pope.

Representative Grier Martin resigned his seat in the NC House on July 8, 2022 to take a job at the pentagon, and local Democrats selected Nichols to serve the balance of Martin's term. Nichols will not be a candidate for the seat in the 2022 election.
