👆 See that kid, John? That’s me.

As I grew up, I had no idea what the future held, but I had a pretty good idea of the kind of man I wanted to be. My dad — he’s the one with me in that photo — was a founding partner in North Carolina’s first integrated law firm and a fierce advocate for all people’s civil rights.

Even when his office was firebombed by racists determined to cling to the status quo, my dad and his partners didn’t back down.

His commitment to advancing justice and equality helped me steer my own path.

Eventually, I joined the North Carolina Department of Justice, first as an intern. So was Anna! That’s when we met, and we got married 3 years later. 👇

We wanted to raise our family here and model the same values that our own parents taught us.

Since my days as an intern, I’ve served North Carolinians in every way I can — as a teacher, an economic developer, a consumer protection lawyer, a state Senator, and Attorney General.

I’ve taken on big fights. I’ve stood up for our most fundamental rights and freedoms. I have defended the interests of North Carolinians at every turn.

Now, I’m the Democratic nominee for Governor of North Carolina — and I’m locked in the most competitive gubernatorial race of 2024.

North Carolina is a swing state at every level, and this race is a top GOP target to flip. We have to defeat the extremist Republican agenda before it’s too late and has inflicted too much damage to our state.

John, a lot has changed over the years, but one thing will always remain true: North Carolina is my home, and I know our people are worth the fight.

I’m personally asking you to contribute what you can to help win this race so I can keep working to deliver for you. My opponent and I are deadlocked in the polls, and your contribution now could make all the difference.
