Regardless of party, North Carolina voters OPPOSE gerrymandering.

But today, politicians in the legislature are defying the will of voters and pushing to impose a new, extreme gerrymander on the people of our state. That is outrageous!

🚨ACT NOW – Tell NC politicians: NO gerrymanders - ccnc.me/cd1

My kids are out of school today in NC so that the large Hindu population in our area can celebrate Diwali. So I’m pretty sure not everyone agrees with you, Chip.

We still have freedom of religion in this country.
