Dear Friend,
Earlier today at noon marked the start of an important period that
will determine the shape of our state's political future. Over the
course of the next two weeks federal, state, legislative, and local
candidates will file their intent to run for political office in
2024.
The races to be determined are numerous and important: the
governor's race, the attorney general's race, 1 NC Supreme Court seat,
3 NC Court of Appeals seats, 8 statewide offices, all 170 state House
and Senate seats, and a number of important local races.
Our prayer for this period echoes 1 Timothy 2:1-2, in "that
petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all
people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live
peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." We urge
you to join us in praying for and encouraging people to run
as candidates who will champion the values of life, family, and
religious freedom that lead to human flourishing.
Each year our coalition works toward advancing public policies that
protect and promote your values by educating voters about the best
pro-values candidates for public office. But it starts with
finding the right candidates who actually file to run!
We
plan for this upcoming election to be our most impactful
year!
Throughout the year, our team evaluates candidates using
questionnaires, candidate interviews, public position statements, and
past voting records. We focus on finding men and women we believe to
be the best candidates to stand strong in Raleigh and Washington D.C.
for family values like protecting life, advancing religious freedoms,
promoting school choice, and ensuring privacy and safety for our
children.
From legislative scorecards, to iVoterGuide candidate
evaluations, to a great number of other useful and time-saving
election tools, we are hard at work year round impacting elections
before, during, and after they have started.
If
you support this labor, and wish to see it make an even bigger impact,
would you consider making a needed end-of-the-year donation
today?
Sincerely,
Tami & Team NC Values
