It might not feel like it, but it's Friday so we have another round of Meet the Candidate interviews to share with you. We hope you've been enjoying getting to know our 2020 Featured Candidates better. Below we have interviews from Rep. Rachel Hunt, Jen Mangrum, and Julie Mayfield.  You can find the entire Meet the Candidate series on our Take the Lead Blog on our website.

"I have been very surprised and upset by the number of ways the folks in the majority can and do limit other people from doing the best job they can do." Read the full interview with Rep. Rachel Hunt! Rachel used to be the Board chair of Lillian's List and we're so proud to have her helping to make NC a better place to be a woman from the NCGA.

"It’s a chance for me to work on the issues I’ve been working on housing, transportation, equity, and sustainability at a higher and broader level with a bigger impact." Read the full interview with Julie Mayfield! Julie has been on the Asheville City Council for several years. She's running for a Senate district that is considered safe so we are looking forward to seeing her in the Senate next year!

"We know that a public education should be the ultimate opportunity for every child in North Carolina, no matter what neighborhood they live in, or what they want to be when they grow up." Read the full interview with Jen Mangrum! Jen is a teacher who teaches teachers and she is ready to apply her lifetime of experience to the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Best,

Sarah Preston

Executive Director
