Here’s what were covering this week!👇

Fill EVERY Seat! 💙

The numbers are in, and the contrast couldn’t be clearer. While the NC GOP has fallen short, filing only a fraction of the candidates needed, NC Dems have stepped up to fill the map! We have officially fielded candidates in ALL 14 Congressional and ALL 170 Legislative districts in the state! 

This means that whether you live in the mountains, the piedmont, or the coast, you will have a Democrat on your ballot fighting for your public schools, your healthcare, and your rights. This isn’t just about filling a ballot; it’s about building a bench of leaders ready to govern. Now, the real work begins—let’s get them elected.

Together We Win 💪

The NCDP is built ready for 2026. We are proud to be contesting every legislative race, turbocharging our judicial defense, and supporting the best Senate candidate in the country.

It all starts with action—your action.

Join us on Wednesday, January 21st at 7PM for a virtual rally to connect with fellow Democrats and hear from a true champion of justice, Justice Anita Earls. Let’s get energized and organized.

Sign up today and invite a friend who is ready to work. 👉 ncdp.org/together

Together, we rise. Together, we win.

Whatley’s Health Care Crisis 🚩

The last day to enroll in the ACA is January 15th but things look a little different this year. DC Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire, driving up premiums by double or more for nearly a million North Carolinians. DC insider Michael Whatley cheered on the expiration of the ACA tax credits and has called for repealing the ACA completely.

We can’t trust Whatley to make health care more affordable. That’s why we’re proud to support Governor Roy Cooper, who expanded Medicaid to nearly 700,000 North Carolinians and has been a health care champion. 

Celebrate 28! 🎂

Friday marks the 28th birthday of our fearless leader and state party chair, Anderson Clayton! We are excited to not only mark this occasion but also the opportunity to follow our annual tradition: raising $28,000 to celebrate her 28th birthday!

This is your chance to turn birthday wishes into political power. Your contribution directly fuels the work Anderson leads every day—organizing every precinct and fighting for every vote. 

Let’s blow this goal out of the water before she even blows out the candles.

Donate $28 today and join us for Anderson’s Birthday Bash on January 16th in Raleigh, NC 🎂
