Grateful for the support of Christina Jones, a Raleigh City Councilmember who understands the real challenges facing our growing communities.

Her focus on public safety, fairness, and accountability mirrors the leadership I’ll bring to the Wake County District Attorney’s Office.

Honored to earn the endorsement of newly elected Holly Springs Mayor Mike Kondratick.

He’s guiding one of the fastest-growing communities in Wake with a focus on smart growth and community safety.

As DA, I’ll bring the same hands-on leadership focused on results and keeping Wake County safe.

A new low by the Trump Justice Department…

This is the Deputy Attorney General of the United States of America - the number 2 guy at the Trump DOJ.

It was great to spend time with the Campbell Law Democrats talking about my race for Wake County District Attorney and what it means to step into this profession as a new lawyer.

What I saw at Campbell University School of Law gives me real hope for the future of our courts.

Honored to be endorsed by the NC State AFL-CIO. 💪🇺🇸

Working families deserve a District Attorney who respects work, values fairness, and believes justice should serve everyone —not just the powerful.

I’m proud to stand with organized labor to keep our community safe and deliver equal justice for NC

I’m grateful to have the support of Wake County Commissioner Vickie Adamson, a strong advocate for Wake County families.

Working for President Obama, I saw up close what it takes to make real change — hard decisions, accountability, and showing up every day.

That’s how I’ve tried to lead: protecting our rights and keeping our community safe.

Proud to have the support of Wake Forest Mayor Ben Clapsaddle, a former colonel and a true leader for Wake County.

I’m proud to call him a friend and know firsthand the integrity, discipline, and dedication he brings to public service here in Wake County.

Proud to be endorsed by Durham Mayor Leonardo Williams, a leader who brings energy, openness, and a clear commitment to public safety and community trust.

Mayor Williams shows what’s possible when leadership is both accountable and community-centered — a model I’ll bring to Wake County as DA. 🇺🇸

Another great campaign meet & greet, this time in Cary.

I’m grateful to Sarika Bansal - Cary Town Council for her support and for hosting this event. These conversations — neighbors talking with neighbors — are how we build trust, strengthen our community, and move Wake County forward.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Morrisville Mayor TJ Cawley — and even more proud to call him a friend.

As Morrisville’s Mayor for the last eight years, TJ has shown what thoughtful, community-focused leadership looks like. That’s exactly the approach I’ll take as Wake County’s next DA.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota are quitting rather than helping Trump cover up these deadly ICE shootings.

The DOJ has become a joke. State prosecutors are now the last line of defense for any real accountability. Trump can’t pardon state crimes.

Handling of Pretti investigation has some prosecutors on verge of quitting
Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis, deeply frustrated by the response to the shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, have suggested they could resign en masse.

Being a Dad shaped how I served in Congress.

I joined the Congressional Dads Caucus because I know how much paid family leave, affordable child care, and the Child Tax Credit matter to real families trying to get by. 🧵

Proud to earn the endorsement of the North Carolina Democratic Party Labor Caucus of NC. Their fight for working families, fair wages, and safer communities makes our state stronger. 🧵
