Honored to speak at the annual SoarFest with Pastor Harry White and the Watts Chapel Missionary Baptist Church community.

Proud to stand with faith community leaders who are working every day to make Wake County stronger.

On this day in 1963, hundreds of Black Americans in Selma lined up to register to vote — facing intimidation and discrimination. Their courage helped pave the way for the Voting Rights Act.

Let’s honor them by redoubling our efforts to protect the right to vote for all Americans.

Did you know Mecklenburg County — which is smaller than Wake — has twice as many prosecutors? That’s a real problem for public safety in Wake County.

I break down why it matters and how we fix it — read more on my Substack:

Mecklenburg has twice as many prosecutors as Wake County?

We can’t keep Wake County safe without enough prosecutors

Happy International Coffee Day — for those who can still afford it! ☕️

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, coffee prices are up more than 20% in the past year. And that’s coming from Fox News!

That latte or cappuccino could get more expensive as coffee prices continue to rise

American coffee costs hit near-record levels as tariffs and weather disruptions in major coffee-producing countries drive the highest price increases since 2011.

Thanks! If the election were based on the votes of kids Roy would win in a landslide. Kids love Roy Cooper!

Adeline was all smiles meeting @roycoopernc.bsky.social — a good friend who’s spent his life fighting for North Carolina families. Proud to support him for U.S. Senate.

Everyone was fired up and ready for Roy!

Had a great time hosting @roycoopernc.bsky.social at our home in Cary last night. Thanks to all the friends who came out to get behind this critical race for our state. I’m proud to support Governor Cooper for the US Senate and hope you will too.

It was great to join so many friends at the @wakedems.bsky.social family reunion at the Koka Booth Amphitheater in Cary today.

Days like this remind me why I love Wake County — neighbors coming together, sharing ideas, and working towards a better future. 🗳️🇺🇸

Ask @terenceeveritt.bsky.social what happens to those who report crimes committed by the NC General Assembly.

This has to change. Good luck on the campaign trail. 🫡

It’s a Class F felony for a member of the NCGA to receive “anything of value or personal advantage” in exchange for performing an official act.

I’m running for District Attorney because it’s about damn time we had someone willing to investigate political corruption in our state.

As a former staffer for President Obama and Congressman, I've dedicated my career to fighting for justice, fairness and equality for all.

I’m running for Wake County District Attorney to bring that experience back to the local level and create real change.

With a President shredding the constitution, we need leaders who will stand up for the rule of law and protect our rights.

As your next District Attorney I’ll continue fighting to defend our rights, keep our communities safe and make sure our justice system works fairly for all.
