A lot of eyes on you to display the backbone to resist the out-of-control GOP in my beloved North Carolina. The corrupt school voucher scam must be your first priority.

I agree that our educational system needs repair. The voucher scam needs to be undone. I feel that is just a way to promote segregation. We must not go backwards. I support better pay for teachers.

My ancestors settled on the outer banks in the mid 1600’s . NC is my home. I am not a Republican and I will never be a Democrat. NC is not a political state and it’s a shame we now find ourselves in a state of politics.

Hmm - politics is what brought your ancestors to colonize.

Are you saying that slavery is a political position?

Albert So's avatar

Slavery most certainly was a political position. Subsequently, Jim Crow laws, redlining, driving while black, continued social and economic repression, gerrymandering. Sure, it's hateful and ignorant, but the only way it's successful is through political power and manipulation.

Point missed. Slavery is a human condition. It continues to this day . Has been since antiquity. Politics , another human condition could never fix it. Freedom is a spiritual journey.

Fair point. But it was divine providence.

Lots of politics in the good book, whether you admit it or not.

I don’t disagree. But I think that politics in part was what the judgements from God was all about.

I live in Vermont, but was so impressed by your newsletter, that I contributed to your campaign. I very much enjoy how you personalize your experience as an elected official. And I appreciate your politics. I recommend getting to know our AG, Charity Clark. I think you two have a lot in common and I am sure there are issues like this RealPage litigation where Vermont can be a helpful collaborator. Good luck on your new job. I look forward to watching you advance through your career.

This same problem, Real Page, is being pursued by AGs in AZ, CA and CO... Touch bases with these AGs also, please sir.

I too am a Vermonter, who has followed your newsletters and donated to your campaign.

Congratulations again on your election. Just be glad you didn't have to go to DC today to hear the Orange Abomination spew his garbage.

Thank you for your communication. I don’t know if it is within the scope of your office, but the attempt to discredit thousands of voters by disqualifying their votes in our last election needs to be a major focus. It’s disheartening to see this story is not receiving more attention.

Thank you for the update and glad to have you as our AG, hoping that despite the obvious efforts by the legislature in NC trying to prevent anyone they don't agree with actually accomplishing anything, that you still find a way to be effective and a source of inspiration for others considering civic service.

I told our Colorado AG, Phil Weiser, about you. He's incredible. I am sure you will collaborate on many important initiatives. I am going to focus on public servants like you two today.
