@vote_molina Hi! Working people here! We also chose not to endorse you. 1. because you never responded to our invitation to meet with union members to receive our endorsement and 2. because we want to elect candidates who will fight for working people! We show up for those who show up for us!

North Carolina has ranked as the worst state to work for three years running now, and it’s time we have a worker representing us at the Department of Labor. Currently, the department is understaffed and doesn’t have the capacity to fulfill all of its duties—a lot of which are safety inspections. There’s also a lack of worker protections for easily identifiable dangers like extreme heat. We need @votebraxton

Meanwhile: “The CEO and now chairman of McDonald’s was paid $19.2 million last year in salary, bonuses and stock, according to federal securities filings.” Joe doesn’t set the prices, Archimedes. The same people who gave their CEO a raise do. restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/mcdo…

Middle class and wealthy NC families are those waiting for private school voucher funding. 70% on the wait list made too much money to qualify under the old rules. These applicants range from a family of 4 making $116K a year to millionaires. #nced #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

Who should be the lead advocate for workers for the next 4 years? A worker who clocks in & out OR your boss’s lawyer? Spoiler alert: it’s me, the worker! @votebraxton
NC Democratic Party@NCDemParty

Did you know: We are 1 of only 4 states that elects a Commissioner of Labor. We have the chance to elect a working person & union member to be our next Commissioner of Labor. @votebraxton will be our advocate, not working for the corporations looking to pull one over on workers.

Officials now say North Carolina's budget surplus will be $1 billion, down from the $1.4 billion projected earlier. Republican leaders are already moving legislation to spend $500M of that on more private school vouchers, targeting higher-income families. wral.com/story/nc-s-bud…

7 years ago our #CLT community changed and I found myself on the front lines of democracy in action. #KeithLamontScott shouldn’t have died. His death has been a catalyst for change. I’m still on the front lines using different tactics to improve our experiment in self-governance.

As legend has it, #OnThisDay in 1775, North Carolina became "first in freedom" when delegates right here in Mecklenburg County adopted a declaration calling for independence from Great Britain after hearing news of the Battle of Lexington. #ncpol #MeckDecDay
