Hear more from Andy Craigehill-Middleton on Saturday and learn why he said “We need someone in office who will fight for us, not their corporate donors. As your congressman, I will stand with you, listen to you, and uplift our communities — as North Carolinians, we are stronger together. Let’s take this seat for all of us and make sure we’ve got a voice in Congress! We’re not tolerating what we can’t change anymore — we’re changing what we can’t tolerate. Let’s get to work.”
