John,

I was born to a single mother in High Point, North Carolina, where she instilled in me the values of hard work, integrity, and service to others. Her strength pushed me to become an educator at Bennett College for 4 decades!

But I knew in order to make the biggest impact, I would have to aim higher.

I became the first Black woman elected to the Greensboro City School Board, where I served for 9 years before being elected to State House District 26 for a total of 10 terms.


Now this brings us to how I ended up in your inbox today—I was elected to represent the Charlotte area in Congress beginning in 2014 because my work isn’t finished yet!

Throughout my career, I have advocated for the betterment of my community. From being arrested for protesting the overturn of Roe v. Wade to passing the FUTURE Act, which permanently provides $255 million a year for all Minority-Serving Institutions, I will always be on the people's side.

I am working to address the 4 Hs—housing, hunger, healthcare, and higher education—because I know firsthand how difficult it is to struggle without necessary essentials, and nobody deserves that.

I hope you’ll stand with me in my fight to give all North Carolinians a quality education, affordable healthcare, and quality of life. Will you contribute to my reelection campaign right now so I have the resources to do so?

Much appreciated,

Alma
