John, with so much at stake my fundraising goals are non-negotiable and my priorities are crystal clear. I want you to know exactly what values I'm fighting for – and need you to be part of funding that fight before my next major deadline.

I have big plans for Durham County, and they all start and end with voter representation, which is why these three values are at the top of my docket:

1. Bridging the gap. My top priority is being a representative for all Durhamites – that’s why I’m fighting to bridge the gap between marginalized communities and their elected officials. John, my work isn’t done until we all have a seat at the table.
2. Breaking barriers. I was the first Muslim woman elected to any office in North Carolina. I’m not just shattering glass ceilings – I’m breaking institutional barriers. Leading with courage and kindness, we have the power to build a more progressive future together.
3. Building progressive power. In my three years as a Durham County Commissioner, I’ve been fighting on the front lines for our community’s greatest needs, advocating for everything from guaranteed basic income to property tax relief.

John, I know these bold priorities will allow us to create a brighter future for all, but I can’t do it without you. If we are going to win this race, we need to hit every single fundraising goal, which is why I’m asking you to chip in what you can right now:

In solidarity,

Nida Allam
