Rachel Hunt for Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina (BCDP Weekly)
Senator Rachel Hunt is running for Lieutenant Governor of our great state. Senator Hunt is a mom and an attorney fighting to expand access to healthcare, ensure our public schools get the funding they deserve, and support local businesses across NC.
Unlike her extremist, anti-choice opponent, Senator Hunt believes in inclusivity and sees a vision for NC that supports and values everyone. We look forward to voting for Rachel Hunt for Lieutenant Governor!
Kamala Harris Celebrates Latino Leaders
Vice President Kamala Harris, in collaboration with the Voto Latino Foundation, invited Democrats from across the nation to a barbecue in celebration of Latino Community Leaders at her residence in Washington DC on July 25th, with approximately 300 attendees.
When VP Harris walked up to the podium, the enthusiasm and the energy in the crowd was palpable. In her heartfelt remarks, she referred to the fact that she comes from a family of immigrants and understands what it is like to be an immigrant and the threats we face:
“This is an extraordinary moment for so many of us who believe in the promise of America. Like so many of you, I have traveled across this country, and I am clear that for some, they are engaged in an intentional full-on attack against hard fought, hard won, freedoms and rights.” She concluded with: “please know you are always welcome in my house…and celebrate all that we are with the commitment for all we have to do.”
