I am working for a better North Carolina in the North Carolina Senate.
As I wrote on Substack recently, Democratic leaders, including me, need to remember that the fear of pushing back drives us further and further away from any core values. There’s no end point when you go down this path. You’re automatically losing because your opponent has set the terms. In today’s regime there is nowhere to hide. One way or another, Democratic politicians are going to take punches. So let’s be ready for them. Get strategic about them. And PUSH BACK with values and principles.
PUSH FORWARD with answers. PUSH FORWARD better solutions. PUSH FORWARD to the next advancements that protects democracy from authoritarians like Trump and his death eaters.
I am working hard to live by these principles, but I know that standing up to authoritarianism will take all of us working together. Thank you for all of your help and support!
