I want to know what you care about

March Madness is coming up and a bunch of us here at HQ are getting excited to fill out our brackets this weekend. I actually won my friendly bracket pool last season (totally by luck) so we at the campaign office thought it would be fun to have a little tournament of our own. I know the …

Can you believe we are only 76 days away from the election? That’s only 76 more cups of coffee until voters are in line at the polls 😳 I’m fortunate to have Taylor and Michael on the team. This isn’t their first rodeo so I trust that they know what’s needed to implement a winning strate…

Why I’m supporting Clay

Hi there, I’m Representative Ritchie Torres of New York’s District 15 and I know a little something about firsts. When I was elected to the New York City Council in 2013, I was the first openly gay elected official from the Bronx in the history of our government. When I was sworn in last…

YMCA

Do any of you have that place that… in the moment you didn’t realize the impact it was making… but looking back you realize just how much it shaped your life? For me, that place is the local YMCA right here in the Triangle. During summers when I was a kid, I attended my local YMCA summer…

Hi Chorus, Taylor here. Our campaign is growing and I couldn’t be more excited. The reality is, we have about 3 months (90ish days!!!) to build and execute a winning congressional campaign — so we have no time to lose. We have another $14,600 to raise to stay on track with our hiring pl…

Ever since I announced my campaign, folks I see at Harris Teeter or Bojangles… or pretty much anywhere else I go, have been asking me the same question: Why are you running again? The answer is simple: I want to give something back to the place I love and the people who gave me my microp…

why Clay

  Clay is a lot of things: a father, an activist, a singer, and a good neighbor. But none of those reasons are why we at Equality PAC chose to endorse Clay Aiken for North Carolina’s 6th Congressional District. We chose Clay because of his compassion and commitment to service. Can you rush…
