Happy Anniversary to the Affordable Care Act!

For more than a decade, the Affordable Care Act has helped millions across the country gain access to health care. More than 21 million Americans enrolled in coverage during the last ACA open enrollment period, including more than one million North Carolinians.

While Republicans continue to target the ACA, Democrats have worked hard to expand healthcare. Here in North Carolina, Governor Cooper and Democrats in our General Assembly fought for years to expand Medicaid. At the end of last year, we won that fight. Now, 600,000 North Carolinians now have access to quality, affordable, and lifesaving healthcare.

Trump's agenda includes “terminating” the Affordable Care Act. Remember that healthcare is on the ballot in November!

A Race You Need to Know About 

The GOP candidate for Superintendent of Public Schools homeschools her kids, has zero experience working in education, and has called public schools “socialist indoctrination centers.”

Michele Morrow said: “I’d like to see a constitutional amendment to get rid of the state Board of Education.” And, even more disturbing, called for a televised execution of President Obama, saying: “I prefer a Pay Per View of him in front of the firing squad. I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from televising his death.”

The NC Chamber of Commerce said her primary win is “a startling warning of the looming threats to North Carolina’s business climate” While there will be a lot of focus this year on the top of the ticket, North Carolina’s down ballot races are going to be critically important. 

For the infinitely better choice, take a look at the Democrat running for this office -- a former school district superintendent, a chief executive for a large foundation that awards grants supporting public education and a school board attorney, Mo Green: www.mogreenfornc.com
