STANDING WITH OUR INCUMBENTS

Currently your state legislators are at the NCGA attempting to practice social distancing while voting on crucial legislation needed to support citizens with services during these trying times. It is doubtful that anyone ever expected to have to wear face masks and gloves while on the floor of the NCGA. We're so grateful for the work they're doing and proud to announce our newest round of incumbent Featured Candidates.

We are excited to add these hardworking women to our list of incumbent Featured Candidates.

• Rep. Carla Cunningham, HD 106 Mecklenburg County
• Rep. Allison Dahle, HD 11 Wake County
• Rep. Evelyn Terry, HD 71 Forsyth County
• Sen. Gladys Robinson, SD 28 Guilford County
• Sen. Joyce Waddell, SD 40 Mecklenburg County

These pro-choice, progressive women are on Jones St. fighting to expand Medicaid, which they would have already done if it hadn't been blocked by the Republicans. They're also working to reform our unemployment system, expand broadband internet, and work through some knotty questions about around public education.

Unfortunately, we can't expect some of these reforms to pass because of the Republican stronghold. That's why we are working hard to elect more pro-choice, progressive women to the NCGA to break the majority. 

KEEPING UP WITH THE CANDIDATES

At Lillian's List, the best part of our work during quarantine is catching up with all of our 2020 Featured Candidates and interviewing them for our Take The Lead Blog. We haven't gotten to everyone yet, and we haven't even started on the incumbents, but these interviews are well worth the read! Learn more about the wonderful women who will hopefully be representing us in the NCGA next year. 

PS: Next week we're announcing new Featured Candidates!
