Ashlee Bryan Adams is firmly in the MAGA Republican camp and would likely vote in lockstep with the state GOP’s right-wing policy priorities.
Despite being a school vice principal, it’s hard to imagine Scott Lassiter voting for public school funding knowing he supports right-wing extremist state superintendent candidate Michele Morrow and has ties to the anti-public education group endorsed by Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson.
A chorus of Americans have offered their gratitude to President Biden for his courageous decision to end his candidacy, creating the space for Vice President Harris to defeat Donald Trump. In stepping aside, he has put not only the Democratic Party ahead of his ambition but the future of the country.
Should Trump take the presidency, Project 2025 recommends that the National Weather Service “should fully commercialize its forecasting operations.” Effectively privatizing weather data could hinder everyday Americans’ access to weather data.
Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is addressing recent ads that highlight his statements on abortion, including remarks about women not being “responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”
North Carolina has a busy ballot this November, with candidates running for high-profile positions such as Labor Commissioner, State Superintendent, Attorney General, and Governor.
Republican Mike Schietzelt, a 37-year-old married father of four who served in the U.S. Marine Corps as part of the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps and currently works as a litigation attorney at a Raleigh law firm. Voters should be cautious about buying into what Schietzelt (pronounced Sheet-zelt) is selling. It’s easy to be fooled when reading what he thinks about providing more funding for our public schools or supporting efforts to keep our air and water clean. Once you scratch below the surface and look deeper into his background, the picture of who he is as a candidate becomes clearer – and it’s not pretty.
One of the far-right Republican legislators up for reelection is Rep. Allen Chesser, who has represented the 25th district in the North Carolina House since 2022. While endorsing Chesser, Destin Hall, the House member presumed to become the next Speaker of the House, stated that Chesser’s reelection is “vital in ensuring we are able to keep our super majority in the next election”
For those familiar with Tricia Cotham, Frank Sossamon’s story might sound similar. Sossamon, a reliable Democratic primary voter for over two decades, abruptly changed his party registration to Republican after 2020. He then ran for a seat in the State House as a Republican, won, and has been a reliable vote for the party’s far-right policy priorities ever since.
First-term state House Rep. Ken Fontenot (R-Wilson) shares the same views as Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson when it comes to abortion and education. And it turns out that he has something else in common with Robinson – they both seem to be “not very good at math” and confused about what purchases they’re legally allowed to make using campaign contributions.
