Facts Matter

    Dear Supporter, Facts matter. Today, we are witnessing history as only the 4th ever Presidential Impeachment hearings begin in the US House of Representatives. The facts of the case are not at issue. They are clear and indisputable. Yet, in order to protect power and not to protect you…

I am the FrontRunner Who Has Your Back

Dear Supporter, We’re watching the same rerun of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) bad movie again! This cheap horror flick opened on Halloween 2019 with the same tired script: The DSCC endorses and funnels staff and money to the least qualified, least progressive candidate.…

Staying in the Fight

Dear Supporter, Republicans aren't the only ones engaging in rigging elections and suppressing the will of voters in our state. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has been rigging the US Senate race in NC for far too long and it has had disastrous effects on Democracy. They rec…
