Hi there — My good friend, Jeff Jackson, is running for Congress here in North Carolina and I just wanted to make sure you saw his message yesterday.

From serving our country as a Major in the Army National Guard to leading the fight to raise teacher pay, expand Medicaid, end partisan gerrymandering, and more in the state Senate, Jeff has dedicated his career to serving the people of North Carolina, and he’s exactly the kind of leader we need in Washington.

But with Republicans going all-in to flip the House majority, Jeff is going to need a lot of resources to break through the noise of their right-wing attacks and flip this seat blue, which is why I’m personally asking: Will you split a donation between Jeff Jackson’s campaign for Congress and our work to protect the House majority?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Jeff Jackson and Deborah Ross will go through immediately:

I’m thrilled Jeff is running for Congress. He has served our state and our country with strength and dignity, and I look forward to seeing the great things he will accomplish in Washington.

Thanks for your support,

Deborah

Hi folks — Jeff Jackson here.

I’m running to represent North Carolina’s newly drawn 14th district in Congress and join Deborah Ross in fighting for all North Carolinians in Washington. But before I ask you to split a donation between our campaigns, I hope you’ll give me a chance to tell you a little about myself and why I’m running for Congress.

To me, a campaign is like a job application. If someone wants to represent you in Congress, you deserve to know where they stand. And our records serving our communities is clear:

In North Carolina’s state Senate, the first bill I ever filed was to end gerrymandering. It’s undemocratic — plain and simple — and it has to end. Deborah has been a big part of this fight, too. In the House, she voted to pass critical voting rights legislation that would finally put an end to partisan gerrymandering nationwide.

I stood up for the LGBTQ community and against HB2, supporting multiple bills to repeal the discriminatory legislation that cost our state billions of dollars. In Congress, Deborah’s currently fighting to get the Equality Act across the finish line, legislation that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity for good.

And while Deborah was fighting to pass the Justice in Policing Act in Congress, I was one of just two state senators who voted against a bill that made body camera footage no longer a public record. Because transparency is the key to accountability and justice.

Over the years, Deborah and I have both advocated for raising teacher pay and the minimum wage, implementing common sense gun safety reforms, and expanding Medicaid to help more than half a million North Carolinians access affordable health care.

You know what we’ll stand for in the United States House of Representatives, because we’ve done it right here in North Carolina.

Now, I’m counting on supporters like you to help us bring that record of service and transparency to Washington. Will you split a donation of any amount between Deborah Ross’s re-election campaign and my campaign for Congress?

Thanks for taking the time to read this message and for chipping in today, if you can. Your support means the world to me.
