Early voting ends Saturday, so make a plan today. IMPORTANT: If you have an absentee ballot that you haven't mailed back yet, you are allowed to go vote in-person instead. Early voting is a safer option this year than hand delivering your absentee ballot. #northcarolina #vote

It's great to see that North Carolina voters are ahead of where we were at this point in previous years. But elections are like a relay race and a strong start doesn't win unless the middle and end are just as strong. Everyone who hasn't voted yet, you're up. #NorthCarolina #vote

Women of North Carolina have a strong and dependable ally on the Court in Justice Anita Earls. Sarah Stevens not only supported the current abortion ban in our state, she recently said in a candidate survey that she doesn't think the right to any contraceptive is protected. #nc
