To my fellow NC Democrats: Please know that Democratic candidates do not have to collect signatures to be on the ballot. In 2026, nearly every seat will be competitive. But there are several spoiler campaigns running that are asking folks to sign petitions. Don't fall for it.

Not only was it a major night for Democrats nationally, but also in local elections across North Carolina. You won't read about about these in the headlines tomorrow, but NC Dems are continuing to lay impressive groundwork — building the bench and racking up wins.

Redistricting is just *another* example of why state legislative seats are so important. Despite Congressional races getting 10x the attention and funding, they are much more influenced by the leaders being elected further down the ballot.

This is just the latest effort in a series of attempts to steal elections in North Carolina — Republicans will stop at nothing to silence the voters and keep their power.

NC-11 is one to watch this year — and Jamie Ager is easily the best choice for Democrats!

Nobody wants this war except for Trump and Netanyahu.

Even a Trump appointed Judge is rejecting Griffin's claims and ordering a certification! Seriously, how many times does Justice Riggs have to win the same race?

A few years ago, Sen. Durbin's office took a chance on me. They didn't really have any reason to — I was a kid from NC, with limited political experience, at a small college. But without that shot, I wouldn't be here today. And I know I'm not the only one. Thank you, Senator.

For those keeping score: Democrats have won or overperformed in 17 out of 18 early elections so far in 2025.

Tonight, we're all Cory Booker Democrats 🤝

We need every single Democratic elected official at every level to be hosting town halls in their district and neighboring Republican districts. Every single district — not just the competitive ones.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of our greatest assets in Western NC. We need to do everything we can to protect it and the people at the NPS who make it great.

Did I miss the part where Trump mentioned Western North Carolina or Helene recovery?

Republicans publicly criticize Chair Clayton, while sweating behind the scenes knowing damn well she's actively changing the landscape of North Carolina 😎 Trust me, y'all — she's going to keep pushing!

North Carolina Republicans just introduced House Bill 66, which would change the early voting period to just six days. Republicans continue to show time and time again that they don't give a shit about your right to vote.

Your DNC Vice Chair for Civic Engagement and Voter Participation, Reyna Walters-Morgan 😎🤝 @reynawaltersmorgan.com @abreezeclayton.bsky.social

Democratic members of the Buncombe NCGA delegation were sworn in on a destroyed bridge in East Asheville, overlooking the Swannanoa River. We have a long road ahead — but as a proud Western North Carolina native, I can confidently say that these leaders have not and will not let us be forgotten.

The best state party Chair in the country is running for re-election — hop on board, y'all!

With all due respect, we don't need any current elected officials or candidates in DNC Chair or Vice Chair roles. Democrats deserve leaders who are giving their all to one role — not holding multiple just for the titles.

Don't let anything distract you from the fact that Republicans in North Carolina are trying to throw out over 60,000 votes in an effort to overturn a fair election. Republicans will do *anything* to take power — that's why Democrats are fighting back. ncnewsline.com/briefs/repub...

A White House Christmas 🎄🎁

“The idea that someone could have been registered to vote, came to vote and then had their vote discarded is anathema to the democratic system and simply cannot be tolerated,” – Alan Hirsch, chairman of the NC State Board of Elections

After multiple recounts, Justice Allison Riggs is still solidly ahead. Jefferson Griffin should honor the will of the people — not get his Republican friends to throw out 60,000 ballots. North Carolinians deserve better and we're not going to let Republicans silence us.

NC Dems had 800+ people on this call earlier tonight 👀

If you're looking for ways to support Western North Carolina as we continue to rebuild following Helene, consider supporting a local traditional artist! Here's the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area list of traditional artists from across the region: www.blueridgeheritage.com/traditional-...

Y'all, this is huge – North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs wins by just 623 votes out of over 5.5 million cast! There will be a recount but that won't change 600+ votes. NC Democrats continue to outperform expectations despite a tough national environment! 🙌

UPDATE: Justice Riggs' lead is now 623 votes #ncpol

As of about 5:45pm, Justice Riggs is up 66 votes with Craven, Dare, Duplin, and Forsyth counties left outstanding. Dare and Duplin won't change much, if at all, but Craven and Forsyth should make an impact here. #ncpol

As of ~1:30pm, Justice Allison Riggs is now leading by 66 votes. We're still waiting on several counties, it might be another long day of refreshing the NCSBE dashboard. #ncpol

As of today, Justice Riggs is leading by just 24 votes out of over 5.5 million #ncpol

Durham and Pasquotank counties are now in – Justice Allison Riggs leads by 106 votes with over 5.5 million cast! #ncpol

We just got Wake County in and Rep. Terence Everitt is the apparent winner in NC Senate District 18! Final margin of 134 votes, pending a potential recount that won't change the outcome – which makes this a Democratic hold following redistricting. Congratulations to Senator-Elect Everitt! #ncpol

Wake County is in and Democratic Justice Allison Riggs is now leading statewide, currently by just 129 votes.. 😳 This is going to come down to Monday's results, folks! #ncpol

The NC Supreme Court race is coming down to the wire. Out of over 5.5 million votes the race is currently down to a margin of just a few thousand. There are several counties left to report, including the strong Democratic county of Wake. It's going to be a close one... #ncpol

Y'all... Today is the final day to count votes in North Carolina and NC Senate 18 is going to be decided by just a few votes. They're not finished yet – and this is well within the recount threshold – but this just proves again that *every single vote* matters!

Hopping on the BlueSky train! Who all from #ncpol has made it over?
