John -- We are excited to welcome Erica Smith to the Brand New Congress slate for 2022! Erica is an engineer, an educator, and former State Senator running for the newly opened seat in NC-02.
This once-safe Democratic seat has been gerrymandered by NC Republicans into a toss-up. Will you split a contribution between BNC and Erica’s campaign right now to keep this seat out of the GOP’s hands? Erica has spent her entire career fighting for rural communities. The newly drawn NC-02 district is the same community she served as a State Senator, where she worked extensively with local farmers, environmental groups, and wildlife advocates to fight climate change.
Erica’s bold vision for a “Survivor’s Agenda” is aimed at addressing the immediate, material needs of working people who are struggling to get by. She supports Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, universal basic income, student debt forgiveness and free college for all.
In Congress, Erica will join the fight to keep the Child Tax Credit, which has lifted millions of American children out of poverty.
Watching the Build Back Better bill die on the vine, John, it’s never been more clear that we need unbought, unbossed working-class progressives like Erica in Congress. Help us win this seat for working people. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
This is an open seat, and a huge opportunity for progressives. When the GOP gerrymandered this seat to engineer a Republican victory, Erica stepped up because she won’t allow the community that raised her, and where she raised her own children, to be silenced.
While both of her opponents in the Democratic primary are anti-abortion, Erica is fiercly pro-choice and will fight to codify Roe v. Wade.
John, we can’t let this open seat fall into the hands of a conservative, pro-corporate, anti-abortion Democrat anymore than we can let it go to a Republican.
Help us elect a true people’s champion by splitting a contribution with BNC and Erica for US.
Welcome to the BNC family, Erica!
