Don't Just Vote... Volunteer!

CMAE Members,

As the Government Relations Committee (GRC) worked during the summer to sponsor two legislative / elected officials’ roundtable discussions and House and Senate Candidate Interviews for Mecklenburg County, the committee made recommendations on what we believe is a stellar candidates list of new and incumbent candidates.

The GRC Committee believes that our selection of House and Senate candidates represents the best Pro- Public Education candidates throughout the entire state and will serve our students, families, and profession well. They are committed to bringing change to how North Carolina Legislature treats our students, families, and public education.

We are in the final stretch of the 2020 Elections! Please take a moment of your time to contact any of our endorsed candidates and volunteer to assist in their campaign(s). Collective ACTION is needed in order to change the direction in which our state is going as it relates to our student’s education, our families health and economic stability and mobility! IT’S ALL ON THE BALLOT!

Please visit one or more of the candidate’s website below and volunteer! We also ask that you obtain some of our Apple Cards for distribution at poll locations during early voting and Election Day if you can (Remembering to adhere to campaign distancing and COVID 19 Guidelines). Talk to you neighbors and family members nationwide encouraging them to VOTE! Some of our races for our Incumbents (Wesley Harris, Rachel Hunt, Christy Clark, and Brandon Lofton) will be tight if we don’t get our community out to Vote. Two additional seats are also expected to be tight (Deandrea Salvdore and Terry Brown).

Please Volunteer Today! Thank you for all of your engagement in this most important process. In the words of the late great Congressman JOHN LEWIS, “Let’s get into some good trouble!” Let’s get all of Mecklenburg out to vote (early, absentee, or on November 3rd). Justice, Fairness, Economics, and Health is all on the Ballot!
