Wins are built in the “off” months: recruiting candidates, training volunteers, and running our Voter Assistance Hotline.

We’re pushing to hit our end-of-quarter goal so we can scale that work in every county.

As Chair @abreezeclayton.bsky.social said:
“Tim Moore said the quiet part out loud. He told North Carolinians to ‘pay a little more’ in exchange for jobs tariffs would create. Today’s numbers prove the results are abysmal.”

I’m doing everything I can to stop Trump from dismantling our democracy. That’s why I’m here with @abreezeclayton.bsky.social, but we need your help.

If we’re going to fix what’s broken, we have to elect more fighters like @roycoopernc.bsky.social.

So if you’re with us, sign up to volunteer today.

I went to today's Veteran's Town Hall with Sen. Mark Kelly and NC AG Jeff Jackson. Standing room only! Even the toughest questions got answered.

What I like most is that each of them thinks very quickly on their feet. So refreshing when a politician doesn't have to measure his or her words! #ncpol

Despite all the bad news these days, this is what gives me hope: communities like this doing the work and holding Donald Trump accountable.
