Charlotte NC House Rep. Carla Cunningham's office seems to be spending more time silencing critics on social media than on protecting her constituents from violence committed by ICE/CBP. open.substack.com/pub/leegans/...
Charlotte Rep. Carla Cunningham is violating my First Amendment rights
The extreme, MAGA Democrat representing NC House District 106 is illegally censoring her critics on social media. Meanwhile, CBP is terrorizing families in Charlotte.

Dem reps Carla Cunningham and Shelly Willingham voted with Republicans in the State Legislature to overturn a veto of SB 266, which allows Duke to raise rates for plants that haven't been built. They are two of Duke's top campaign fund recipients in the entire state.

Some constituents informed me Carla Cunningham claimed "everyone is getting PAC money from Duke Energy" at her town hall. If she said that, it's not true:

Does Carla Cunningham even LIVE in her district?

Carla Cunningham is the Democratic NC House Rep. for District 106 in Charlotte. She’s always overriding @ncgovernor.bsky.social 's vetos. She owns this $750k AirBnB in Stanly County. Is this her full-time job? leegans.substack.com/p/lets-keep-...
