On this day in 1963, hundreds of Black Americans in Selma lined up to register to vote — facing intimidation and discrimination. Their courage helped pave the way for the Voting Rights Act. Let’s honor them by redoubling our efforts to protect the right to vote for all Americans.

I'll be voting for him - he does a good job for the people of North Carolina!

Everyone was fired up and ready for Roy! Had a great time hosting @roycoopernc.bsky.social at our home in Cary last night. Thanks to all the friends who came out to get behind this critical race for our state. I’m proud to support Governor Cooper for the US Senate and hope you will too.

Ask @terenceeveritt.bsky.social what happens to those who report crimes committed by the NC General Assembly. This has to change. Good luck on the campaign trail. 🫡

🔥🔥🔥

Proud to support law enforcement in Wake County - including those with four paws.

As a former staffer for President Obama and Congressman, I've dedicated my career to fighting for justice, fairness and equality for all. I’m running for Wake County District Attorney to bring that experience back to the local level and create real change. open.substack.com/pub/wileynic...

Republican gerrymandering in North Carolina handed Donald Trump control of Congress. We can’t let that happen again. Democrats must match Republican gerrymandering - for now, at least. Check out my opinion piece in the Raleigh @newsobserver.com. 👇 www.newsobserver.com/opinion/arti...

Lost in the debate: Democrats have been totally screwed by Republican gerrymandering nationwide. Republicans **currently** have a 16 seat gerrymandering advantage according to the non-partisan @brennancenter.org. Gerrymandering handed the GOP majorities in the House in ‘22 and ‘24.

Today, I’m suspending my campaign for Senate and proudly endorsing @roycoopernc.bsky.social We started this campaign to send Thom Tillis packing. Well, mission accomplished I guess!

Trump just handpicked hardline loyalist Michael Whatley, known for pushing his extreme agenda as RNC chair, to run for Senate in North Carolina. Reminder: Whatley has never questioned Trump, not once. If elected, he wouldn’t represent North Carolina. He’d be a rubber stamp for Trump’s every whim.

Great to be with the Wake Forest Democrats yesterday, hearing from so many passionate North Carolinians about the issues that matter most. Together, we’ll build a future that works for everyone in our state. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Republicans gutted our health care system and North Carolinians deserve the truth: the Big Beautiful Bill is a Big Ugly Scam.

We haven’t been tough enough. Democrats have to use every ounce of our leverage when we have it to put a stop to Trump’s reckless agenda.

I know everyone is already talking about Roy Cooper possibly running for Senate in North Carolina, but we already have a candidate, his name is @wileynickel.com and he’s pretty great. I got the chance to interview him on Friday! youtu.be/-k2_DMUo3lk

While Republicans scramble to prove who’s most loyal to Trump, I’m traveling across North Carolina to share our message: we deserve better from Washington.

Former Rep. @wileynickel.com talks race for Senate without Thom Tillis - WNCN CBS17 #NCSen #2026election

The Senate just passed Trump’s “big ugly scam” and it’s a disaster for North Carolina. Over 600,000 will lose health care, rural hospitals will shut down, energy costs will go up—all to pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires. We deserve better.

Thom Tillis is out. No matter which MAGA loyalist Trump picks, I’m the only Democrat in this race and I’m ready to win. In 2022 I flipped a red seat in Congress, and now I’m running for US Senate to fight for North Carolina working families who Trump has left behind.

There's a really good NC Dem who has announced for the primary, @wileynickel.com. He served in the US House but was gerrymandered out of his NC district. Help get his name out there!

Spread the word! Let’s flip North Carolina blue and elect former Congressman @wileynickel.com! 🇺🇸

Thom Tillis won’t face voters because he can’t answer for what he’s doing. He’s giving tax cuts to billionaires while slashing health care for North Carolinians. I’ll keep showing up to fight for working families.

Hey you! Yes, you! Have you listened to NC's next US Senator @wileynickel.com on our podcast, MUCK YOU! ? If not, nows the time to get to know this good man. He's going to defeat "Kill Medicare" (yes, Medicare and Medicaid) Thomy Tillis. Listen where you get your pods or AmericanMuckrakers.com

We need a Senator with a backbone. On the @americanmuckrakers.com podcast, I broke down how Thom Tillis is selling out North Carolinians by gutting health care and green jobs to fund tax breaks for billionaires. It’s not a “big beautiful bill.” It’s a Big Ugly Scam.

We need you, Wiley Nickel, to replace Tillis! @wileynickel.bsky.social Republican Senator Thom Tillis, the Susan Collins of NC, will vote on the "big beautiful tax bill"next. He wont get there without donations. Please help elect one of the Good Guys! secure.actblue.com/donate/flipn...

I’m running to flip this Senate seat and deliver real results for North Carolina, but I can’t do it alone. If you’re ready to fight back, pitch in below👇

The Constitution gives Congress authority over acts of war for a reason. It doesn’t give Trump the sole power to drag the US into another endless Middle East conflict. But Republicans like Thom Tillis will keep enabling him, no matter the cost to American lives and resources.

I can assure you as a mother of a disabled child on Medicaid it is easier to crawl through the eye of a needle than get Medicaid. No one is getting it who doesn’t need it. They lie to you. Enough of the Medicaid cuts. Call your representatives today to stop the Big Beautiful Bill.

Vote @wileynickel.com and send Thom Tillis packing!

We need you, Wiley Nickel, to replace Tillis! Republican Senator Thom Tillis, the Susan Collins of NC will vote on the "big beautitul tax bill"next. @wileynickel.bsky.social wont get there without donations. Please help elect one of the Good Guys! secure.actblue.com/donate/flipn...

As if it’s not enough that Thom Tillis wants to strip health care from over half a million North Carolinians on Medicaid, now he’s coming after seniors by gutting Medicare. All to pay for billionaire tax breaks. We need a Senator who fights for us.

North Carolina Voters have a CHOICE

Elect Wiley Nickel, #NorthCarolina. We need him. 💙

Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill is in the Senate and it’s a direct attack on working families. I took the fight straight to Thom Tillis’ office to speak out against a plan that guts health care and raises costs—all to benefit billionaires. Watch why this fight matters.

Congressman @wileynickel.com went to Thom Tillis’ Office in Raleigh today. Check out this Substack to see what happened! open.substack.com/pub/wileynic...

When elected officials like Thom Tillis and Rep. McDowell don’t show up, it’s up to us to organize and make our voices heard. I was proud to join the NC-06 Empty Chair Town Hall in Rowan County to hear from the community. Let’s show them what real leadership looks like.

Trump just denied NC’s request for extended FEMA relief after Hurricane Helene, calling it “not warranted.” Tell that to the families still rebuilding and businesses still recovering. NC needs a Senator who’ll fight like hell to get our communities the help they deserve.

@wileynickel.com on the road in Franklin County! #VoteBlue

It’s time to send Thom Tillis packing! Vote @wileynickel.com for Senate. #VoteBlue #Demcast #BlueWave 🌊
