Wrapped up the Inside-Out Sports 8K Turkey Trot this morning in Cary with Caroline and the kids — the perfect way to kick off Thanksgiving and earn that big meal!

What a privilege to celebrate my 50th surrounded by such an extraordinary community — thank you to the Chinese-American business, academic, and civic leaders who made Sunday so memorable.

It was an honor to join Elaine Marshall for a joint birthday celebration, as we both marked milestones together

Thanks so much for all the kind birthday messages today — it truly means a lot.

Hard to believe, but I officially hit 50. Grateful for every year, every lesson, and especially for Caroline, Prescott, and Adeline.

We had a great crowd in Cary last night for House Party #2 — with meaningful conversations about justice and public safety in Wake County.

Our campaign is rooted in real grassroots organizing with free house parties across Wake County.

Such a great night with the NC State College Democrats!

A full house, big energy, and students fired up to flip North Carolina blue. We talked about fair maps — and the role the Wake County DA’s office plays in defending our democracy.🐺🐾

Out in Garner today — because talking with voters matters year-round, not just when it’s close to Election Day.

When trust in the system is low, leadership matters.

I’m running for Wake County District Attorney to make our justice system fair, effective, and grounded in common sense.

Wake County deserves a justice system people can trust.

I worked for President @barackobama.bsky.social during some of his toughest fights — he showed that integrity and hope still matter in public service.

Those same values guide my campaign for Wake County District Attorney.

Grateful to have the support of former North Carolina Attorney General Rufus Edmisten.

He spoke about integrity, accountability, and why 20 years of experience as a practicing attorney matters.

Today we thank all who’ve worn the uniform and defended our freedoms—at home and abroad.
I’m especially proud to honor my dad’s Army service and my grandfather’s Navy service during World War II—and the values they passed down through our family. 🇺🇸

An important victory in the fight for fair maps.

A Utah court just struck down a partisan gerrymander and approved districts that give Utah voters—not politicians—the power to choose their Members of Congress.

This is a surrender by Senate Democrats.

Gave away their leverage and got nothing to bring down health-care costs for working families — just an empty promise for a vote on a bill the House GOP will reject.

Democrats folded, and working families will pay the price.

We need prosecutors loyal to the rule of law — not Donald Trump.

A nomination of loser AG candidate Dan Bishop isn’t about justice — it’s about control. Trump wants prosecutors who’ll turn a blind eye towards his MAGA allies and punish his critics.

Nancy Pelosi’s retirement marks the end of an extraordinary chapter in Congress.

It was an honor to serve alongside her in the House. @pelosi.house.gov’s courage and trailblazing spirit will inspire leaders for generations — including my daughter Adeline. 💙
