Here’s what we’re covering this week!👇

Closer To November:

Y’all, we’re officially 4 weeks out from Election Day and just one week away from early voting. The deadline to register online is this Friday, October 9th! Missing this deadline means you HAVE to vote during the early voting period, October 15-31, with same day registration. No early voting means no vote.

North Carolina is in play, y’all!  We’re watching every race and we’re not slowing down, not here at home or across the country. As of last weekend, Democrats have knocked on one million doors, doing the work Republicans are too scared to do: talking to voters.

As we head into the final stretch, remember the only poll that matters is the one that closes at 7:30 PM on November 3rd. Stay locked in and let’s finish this thing!

Republican Mind Games:

After nearly a year of gas prices climbing on their watch, Republicans are pretending to care about your gas tank. Just 27 days before Election Day, the NC GOP called a special session to consider suspending the gas tax, but only until after November. Convenient, huh?

Republicans don’t have a plan to bring down the cost of living. They’ve had every opportunity to do the work and they chose not to. Now that they’re on the verge of losing this election, they’re making a last-ditch effort to cling to power. From a gas tax gimmick that expires after November to constitutional amendments wrapped in misleading language, they’re playing mind games instead of doing the work, hoping you won’t notice. This week, we’re making sure EVERYONE notices.

That’s a wrap for this week’s messaging!

See y’all on the internet!
