Yesterday afternoon, Republicans in the North Carolina General Assembly released new Congressional and state legislative maps.
I wish I had better news to report, but these maps are political gerrymandering on steroids. They were enabled by the NC Supreme Court’s partisan reversal of constitutional law earlier this year and drawn in secret.
We’re a purple state and we finally have a Congressional delegation of 7 Democrats and 7 Republicans that reflects the rich ideological and racial diversity of our great state. However, that will change drastically with these new maps. They are an egregious abuse of power and a threat to the strength and vitality of our democracy.
This redistricting process represents a monumental step backward, but I intend to keep fighting for the community I have represented for more than a decade – first in the General Assembly and now in Congress.
That’s why I am running to continue representing Wake County in Congress. We have accomplished so much together, but there is still so much left to do.
I intend to win this seat again and continue delivering real results for the people of Wake County and North Carolina.
We need your help to make sure we have what it takes to win, regardless of what the new maps say. Can you chip in now?
