Friends,

To me, a campaign is like a job application. If someone wants to represent you in Congress, you deserve to know where they stand. That’s why today, I want to tell you about my record — and the record Rep. Deborah Ross brings to North Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District.

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?
