I want to tell you about a few things that are important to me, Herbert, so I hope you’ll give me just a minute or two of your time today:
Public education: My mom was a public school teacher right here in North Carolina, and I attended public schools all the way from first grade through university and law school. Our future leaders are learning in public schools today. I believe every child deserves an excellent public education — no matter where their parents live or what they earn — and I’ll make public education a priority in the Senate.
Health care access: Expanding Medicaid was one of our most impactful accomplishments during my service as Governor of North Carolina. America is the richest country in the world, and every one of us deserves the care we need to stay healthy — and bringing Medicaid Expansion to NC helped more than 670,000 people get it. But the entire Medicaid system is now at risk because national Republicans decided to slash Medicaid funding and give a handout to the rich instead. I will fight to save Medicaid for all Americans.
Voting rights: North Carolina has been a proving ground for the GOP’s worst efforts to undermine voting rights and access. They’ve enacted ultra-partisan gerrymanders and restrictive anti-voter laws. In the wake of a 2024 election loss, Republicans even launched a lawsuit attempting to throw out tens of thousands of valid ballots and change the result. We must defend and expand voting rights to ensure that every one of us can have our fair say in our democracy — and we have to be prepared for the GOP to try to steal future elections that they lose.
Herbert, thank you for supporting our mission here at Elect Southern Democrats! With your help, we were able to turn out tens of thousands of Democrats in the 2024 election, helping flip Southern seats from red to blue.
Now, we’re mobilizing to boost more Democrats across the South to victory – who will advance inclusive policies that address racial justice, social equity, and economic opportunity, and help take back our majorities in 2026.
We believe in a simple principle: When Democrats vote, Democrats win. That’s why we’re fighting back against Trump’s MAGA extremists by turning out tens of thousands of Democrats across the South in states like Florida, Georgia, and Texas.
