North Carolina Republicans drew the maps so they could pick their voters. The @apnews.com looked at what that did to my old congressional district. On November 3rd, the voters get the last word. Make sure you're one of them. 🗳️ spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte...
The Associated Press wrote about my old congressional district this week. It's a story worth telling. www.wataugademocrat.com/ap/national/...

3/ Then the legislature gerrymandered it into a safe Republican seat. Well, it's looking a little less safe right now. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
4/ This week the Cook Political Report moved NC-13 from Solid Republican to Likely Republican. That's a big deal in a district drawn to never be competitive. And Cook moved 19 House races toward Democrats in a single day. paulbarringer.com

Had a great night at our place hosting a fundraiser for Robert Reives, a guy I've been proud to stand with for years. Robert's leading the charge for @nchousedems.com to flip the NC House, and there's nobody I'd rather have out front in that fight. Election Day is November 3rd. Let's get it done!

This is far and away the most corrupt White House in our nation's history. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...
Nursing home CEO Paul Walczak pocketed the taxes from his workers' paychecks and blew it on a $2M yacht, travel & Cartier. He got 18 months in prison. Then his mom went to a $1M-a-plate Trump dinner. 3 weeks later: FULL pardon. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The News & Observer endorses Roy Cooper.🌊🌊🌊 “This election is a choice between a candidate who would put North Carolina first, and one who would put someone else first. It should not be a difficult one to make. We recommend Cooper for the U.S. Senate.” www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/arti...
Reminder: Trump pardoned a Virginia GOP sheriff who took $75,000 in bribes in exchange for badges. He'd been sentenced to 10 years and the pardon came just hours before he was to report to prison. This is the most corrupt White House in our nation's history. virginiamercury.com/2025/06/11/m...
Just voted early with Caroline and the kids. Trump wants people to pretend he's on the ballot, so I did: Roy Cooper for Senate, Anita Earls for NC Supreme Court. Voted for myself for Wake DA, unopposed. Grateful to serve and ready to get to work. Vote early by Oct. 31: iwillvote.com

The Trump regime has suppressed government data about impact of the big ugly bill, hiding it from voters prior to the election. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
As your next DA, I’ll put the full weight of my office against those who use guns to commit violent crime and will keep fighting for red flag laws. Thanks to @momsdemandaction.org for the recognition, and for the work you do every day.
I’m out canvassing today because the stakes for our community and our democracy have never been higher. Early voting starts October 15th. Vote @roycoopernc.bsky.social, Anita Earls for Supreme Court, and make sure you vote all the way down your entire ballot. Please make a plan and vote!
And there it is. Republicans just cut bait on Michael Whatley's flailing US Senate campaign. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

Had a great time at the @wakedems.bsky.social Family Reunion yesterday. You can feel the grassroots energy heading into the midterms. North Carolinians are fired up and ready to vote. 🗳️

I served with @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social in the state Senate and in Congress. On January 1st, it'll be Attorney General and Wake County DA. Looking forward to working together again to keep North Carolina safe. Jeff explains why that partnership matters 👇 #ncpol
It was great to welcome the @ncstateaflcio.bsky.social convention to Wake County this morning. 71% of Americans support labor unions, the highest in generations. Unions built the middle class. Your vote protects it. Election Day is November 3rd. Please make a plan and vote!
Thanks to Attorney General @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social and everyone who joined us for a great campaign luncheon in Raleigh. Together we're building safer communities and a District Attorney's Office that works for all of Wake County.
As a state senator, I helped hold the line on Governor Cooper's vetoes for four years. That veto did more than stop bad bills. It forced Republicans to come to the table and write laws most North Carolinians could live with. Governor Stein deserves the same. wileynickel.substack.com/p/lets-give-...
Just talked to Scott MacFarlane of @meidastouch.com about North Carolina in the midterms. The MAGA Republican brand under Trump is so toxic that Dems could win 2 or more seats gerrymandered FOR Republicans. Keep an eye on #NC01 and #NC11.
