The right to a public education is enshrined in our state constitution. We need leaders who will fight for that right for every child. Choose change, vote blue! 🌊✌️💙

Everyone deserves dignity. Our unhoused neighbors need to know their community is pulling for them. Choose change, vote blue! 💙✌️🌊

Here's a look at voter turnout through yesterday. Remember, the polls are NOT open tomorrow (Saturday 10/24) in McDowell County, but will be open Monday - Saturday next week! Make a plan to vote early!

Republicans put distance between our students and the polls, and our students walked every single step to vote for their future. Now it’s your turn. Visit iwillvote.com to find your polling location and make your voice heard!

Another great evening in Hendersonville! Hundreds showed up to talk about the issues that matter to them. I love hearing from folks in the community. #WNC #NC11

I’ve run a farm operation for over 25 years. Raising cattle, chickens, and pigs, making sure they’re well cared for, making sure the business succeeds, is my livelihood. Coming from a farm is one thing. Actually running one day in and day out is a whole different experience. #NC11 #WNC #Farmer

The polls are open and finding your voting site is just a click away. Visit ncdp.org/vote2026 to see where and when you can cast your ballot between October 15 and October 31st! Give this a share to help get everyone out early! 🤝

From flipping the U.S. Senate, to opening the path to fair maps, to taking back North Carolina’s Supreme Court, it all starts with showing up early! Early voting runs October 15 to October 31. Let’s make it count. 💪

Today is National Farmer's Day! As a fourth-generation farmer, I know how hard it is to run a small business, especially when four companies control 85% of the beef industry. I will fight for policies that give small farms a fair shot to thrive here in Western North Carolina. #SupportSmallFarms

He is deplorable. Bring on the blue wave so we can remove this stain on our country and our democracy.

Lying to incite hatred and potentially violence against an ethnic group is neither Conservative nor Liberal. But it is filthy, reckless, illegal, and an anti-American perversion of our White House.

I had a great time in the Far West! I spent the day in Bryson City and Murphy hearing from Western North Carolinians on what matters most to them. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

🚨 This is your last chance to register online! 🚨 Missing the October 9th deadline means you HAVE to vote early between October 15th – 31st with same day registration! Give this a share and make sure every voice is heard!

Thom Tillis is a miserable excuse for a human being, much less a senator. Ever since he decided not to run for reelection, he has had MULTIPLE opportunities to do the right thing for NC and the country, and to break with his party. But all he ever gives us are sound bites. NO ACTION.

Thom Tillis voted to confirm these people. Now he wants credit for telling us how terrible they are. And oh so conveniently, Thom Tillis has a new book to sell. Spare us.

Well said!! Capitalism isn't the issue. GREED IS. How much is enough?

TEXAS — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? The reason poverty exists is not because we can’t feed the poor, it’s because we can’t satisfy the rich.” (From @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social )

Pe[low]te Hegseth can’t keep up with women he claims aren’t strong enough to compete with men in his “warrior” military.

38 minutes. That’s how long Michael Whatley has spent talking about Helene recovery over the past TWO YEARS. That’s shorter than your lunch break. Western NC deserves leaders who show up. We’ll keep showing up until the job is done.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

FFS… Is it really an accident anymore at this point?

If their biggest donors call it a win, it wasn’t built to help you. Three amendments on your ballot this November, dressed up as relief, protection, and security. Vote AGAINST them all.

This is what accountability looks like.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Students are an important part of North Carolina’s electorate, and they deserve to have their voices heard. Hear from Judge Toby Hampson as he breaks down the importance of young voters hitting the polls this year!
