1 in 500 Americans have died of Covid-19. That’s an absurd statistic. Think about your church or school or high school football stadium and how many faces would be gone from those places. Faces like my father-in-law’s, who didn’t have to die from this deadly virus if Republicans hadn’t politicized it. We live in precarious times, folks. In Florida there are more deaths per day than any other time during the pandemic. And we have a vaccine! Right here in District 13, Rowan County has the highest infection rate in all of North Carolina. Why? Because Republicans have made this into a culture war. Democrats are working hard to protect our children, get much needed shots in arms, and ensure that we can move out of this pandemic ASAP. President Biden has employed strong mandates to spread these safety measures across tens of thousands of people. Why would they want to put children in danger? I am committed to working with my fellow Democrats to safely spread science and not a virus. I’m a Navy veteran who swore an oath to protect us from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And it feels like we are definitely being attacked from within. Help me get to Congress to do more to protect America. I promise to serve and protect you, the people. The reason I’m running for office is to protect my daughter from elected Republicans. Seriously. Elected Republicans have declared war on women and opposed their right to control their own bodies, packing the courts with “activist” judges to tear down equality.
My daughter, Wyleigh Caroline Huffman, was only 8 years old at the time I started to stand up and speak out against elected Republicans because I knew that I couldn’t look her in the eyes knowing I hadn’t done everything as a dad to protect her rights and her healthcare freedom when she turned 18 years old. Republicans in Texas have made it clear that they will enact oppressive anti-abortion laws so the conservative Supreme Court will strike down Roe v. Wade. Right now, Republicans think that a virus has more reproductive rights than a woman. Right now, Republicans are all about “my body, my choice” and refuse mask mandates. That autonomy stops with women, however. This aggressive erasure of equal rights is no accident. It’s a war on women, by design. And it is being protected by the ultimate death panel: the packed Supreme Court. Every American deserves equal access to healthcare and equal protection under the law. This means we ALL must act to ensure these protections are preserved. We can no longer wait for someone else to do something. We all have to find a way to stop this tide of fascism creeping across the land. The time is now to get involved. The time is now to donate to my campaign for Congress so that we can work together to ensure that your life, your liberty, and your pursuit of happiness is preserved against this tyranny of the minority. The stakes couldn’t be any higher. This is the America that Republicans want. Your donation can stop them in their tracks. |
