Subject: An announcement on the state of the General Assembly
Hello John,
You may have heard the news that State Representative Tricia Cotham, who is from a safe Democratic district, intends to switch her party affiliation and give Republicans supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly.
This is a shocking announcement that will have a real effect on Roy’s ability to hold his vetoes of dangerous legislation. It’s clear now how high the stakes are in 2024. North Carolina is a true swing state, but to prevent a radical shift toward the right, Democrats must win everywhere. We must not only hold the Governor’s office but also break the supermajorities in Raleigh — and we have to prepare NOW.
We’re urgently asking you to donate to support our fight for North Carolina. The future of our state is on the line >>>
John, we will not lose faith in our ability to protect against the worst impulses of the radical right wing. The representative who is switching parties has been a strong advocate for many Democratic priorities — including abortion rights, voter protections, public schools, and LGBTQ+ rights.
Roy will continue to work to convince her and other legislators to uphold our fundamental rights and freedoms.
But we can’t ignore the fact that our political landscape has changed. We must work harder than ever to hold all elected officials accountable and elect Democrats who we know will stick with us when it matters most.
Please, contribute whatever you can to break the supermajorities next year >>>
