3. Show up everywhere.
We are going to be everywhere we can be. My mission over these next 100 days is going to be making sure our chapters and members have the resources they need to engage in their communities, and whenever I can, I'm going to be right there beside them.

2. We need to engage young people where they are at.
We still have work to do to bring folks back to the table who stayed home in 2024 because they didn't like what our party had to offer. Our caucuses are a vital tool to do that, and I'm focused on building them up.

1. We need to be organized all across North Carolina.
We have races on the ballot in 25/26 that we cannot leave uncontested & campaigns that need support. These next 100 days I'm going to be traveling across the state getting chapters of young Democrats organized & ready to go.

While there are folks who will choose to demonize and attack trans and non-binary folks, there are so many more who choose love and acceptance.
Today, and every day, we won’t stop fighting, because North Carolina is for everyone. Always. #TransDayOfVisibility
