THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE North Carolina is a key 2024 battleground in the race for the White House. President Biden wakes up every day thinking about the American people. His administration has made generational investments in infrastructure, climate protections, and pandemic recovery. Donald Trump wakes up every day thinking about himself. Our democracy may not survive another Trump term. Republicans know that they can’t retake the presidency without carrying North Carolina in a Biden-Trump rematch. Democrats HAVE to put up a fight to win NC and ensure the Biden administration can keep up their hard work. We have to spend the next eight months making that case in every corner of North Carolina — because together, we can flip our state blue and help re-elect President Biden. THE GOVERNOR’S RACE North Carolina’s 2024 governor’s race is the most competitive in the nation — and our Governor’s Office is Republicans’ top pick-up target. For months, polls have shown Democratic nominee Josh Stein in a dead heat with Republican Mark Robinson. Josh Stein, North Carolina’s current Attorney General, is an advocate for women’s reproductive rights, funding our public schools, investing in community safety, and protecting access to the ballot box. Robinson is a conspiracy theorist who wants to ban abortion and return America to a time when women could not vote. He cannot be allowed to take the Governor’s Office. THE LEGISLATURE When turncoat representative Tricia Cotham switched parties, she gave Republicans a one-seat supermajority in both chambers of the legislature. We have to BREAK the supermajorities in 2024 to halt the advance of their far-right agenda. NC Republicans have made it clear that they’re all-in on radical GOP culture wars, like attacking LGBTQ+ schoolkids and banning abortion care. They also prefer spending their time on political infighting to addressing our state’s needs — they even delayed our Medicaid Expansion agreement so long that tens of thousands of North Carolinians were kicked off the rolls. Democrats are running strong candidates in every last state Senate district and all but one state House district because we know we have to compete in even the hardest races to break the supermajorities in Raleigh. SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Before the primary, Republicans held the advantage of incumbency in the race for superintendent on the Council of State. That all changed when an ultra-radical challenger won the GOP primary. GOP nominee Michele Morrow has called our state’s public schools “indoctrination centers” — though she’s never even sent her own children to public school in NC. She was also at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, when Donald Trump’s supporters staged an insurrection against our government. She’s a direct threat to teachers’ ability to educate North Carolina’s next generation of leaders. Mo Green is our Democratic nominee for superintendent. He has years of experience in North Carolina’s public education system, including as superintendent for Guilford County Schools. He’ll prioritize investing in public schools to ensure teachers and students have the resources they need and advocate for keeping students safe. John, the 2024 elections could set North Carolina on a path of progress or set us back generations. Our rights, freedoms, and democracy itself are on the line. The candidates nominated by the GOP are a danger to our state. We MUST defeat them. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
