On Saturday, I attended the North Carolina Democratic Party State Executive Committee Meeting meeting in Hamlet, NC. I was thrilled to be accompanied by volunteers and supporters of all ages. I was so inspired to turn to my left and my right to see their bright smiling and enthusiastic faces speaking passionately about our campaign.Dedicated volunteers and supporters are the backbone of this campaign. As I’ve said before, I’m only the candidate. I’m only one voice. And I’m only as loud as the voices that are standing beside me, supporting our mission to unseat the status quo.

I spent the day meeting our state’s fine Democratic loyalists, activists, candidates and elected officials from across North Carolina who took a day out of their busy schedule to gather in Hamlet to work together for positive change for all of us, be we black, white, senior, young, man, woman, gay or straight. United, we’ll shake up a political system that ain’t working.

Our campaign arrived at 8:30 - several hours before the official meeting began. It felt as if I shook the hand of every warm body at the conference! I didn’t simply arrive in time to make a speech, I might add.

I did have the opportunity to give brief remarks before the official committee meeting began - You can check it out below:
