According to a report by
@CenterOnBudget
, NC is projected to lose 11% of our general fund revenue to tax cuts ($24 billion) by 2028. That's more than any other state in the country. This is the result of austerity budgets by the supermajority party.

This is why I’m running. To bring actual representation to the citizens of NC-27. When someone votes with Republicans over 80% of the time and receives high scores from
@CPAC
that aren’t reflective of the makeup of the ppl of NC-27, something’s not right.
#rodneytoraleigh
Insightful!
@CPAC
agrees that
@Pierce4NCHouse
would better represent NC House District 27 than Rep. Michael Wray.
Rep. Wray received a 50% score from CPAC, the highest of any NC House Democrat.
