What’s up, East Charlotte! After hearing from members of our community, and giving it a lot of thought; I’m excited to announce that I’m running for North Carolina State House District 112!
1 in 6 children in North Carolina face hunger, housing is increasingly unaffordable, childcare costs more than college tuition; and you’re focused on the border?
But Gov. Cooper is out of touch? Unserious.
Governor Cooper’s statement is nothing more than a series of out-of-touch talking points that fail to recognize the national security crisis we are facing thanks to Biden’s open borders. Unacceptable.
The North Carolina House supermajority stands with Texas.

Jordan Lopez wants to represent North Carolina as a United States senator and credits our student organizations with preparing him to lead, listen, and follow when needed.

Sad day for Democracy in North Carolina.
Pay special attention to the folks who are celebrating voting rights being snatched back from ~55k voters. Or to those celebrating the fact the the GOP can draw themselves into power until at least 2030.
BREAKING: The NC Supreme Court has dropped 3 decisions — they vacated 2 prior decisions that protected voters against partisan gerrymandering in voting maps and racially discriminatory voter ID & they revoked voting rights for individuals with a felony conviction

Today, with my family and a few of our East Charlotte neighbors by my side, I officially filed to run for North Carolina State House!
Excited for this campaign and ready to get to work for our community.
What a YDNC 2024 weekend! Young Dems are ready to get to work electing Dems this November.
The highlight for me: a shoutout from Congressman
@MaxwellFrostFL
! Rep. Frost is an inspiration to young leaders all over (incl. me!), so this is huge!
When a state Supreme Court breaks precedent (for the third time) to rehear a case that Republican legislators didn’t agree with… you already know they’re going to overturn the ruling.
They aren’t even concerned about students, they’re concerned about power.
Will NC Supreme Court overturn ruling that orders transfer of money to public schools? During oral arguments, an attorney for GOP lawmakers asks for reversal of Leandro ruling. But attorneys for schools ask court to stand by precedent.

Younger voices, and just new voices in general are desperately needed in Raleigh.
The perspectives from North Carolinians who far too often feel ignored or left behind are simply missing.
Poll, after poll, after poll suggests North Carolina voters want access to abortion services to be legal in all cases, or for current restrictions to be left alone.
Republicans are once again imposing minority rule on women across the state. 🤦🏾♂️
I really don’t have too many RIP’s left in me. It’s getting more and more painful every time. Close or not, cool or not, I’m tired of seeing my peoples go.
East Charlotte, but specifically Eastland Yards, does not need a Target.
East Charlotte deserves to be invested in, and we hope council members don’t choose Target simply because it’s the lowest hanging fruit- from a public $$$ perspective.
The NCGOP commentary around Cotham’s party flip will be their latest example of gaslighting.
The writing was on the wall when they gave her Co-Chair & Vice Chair committee positions but, we’re supposed to believe this happened recently because of some mean tweets? Ok lol.

Use me as a resource, I’m here to help!
If you’re in Charlotte, please just stay at home. There’s literally nothing outside to do except get essential supplies, and exercise. It’s not worth going out and risk contracting/spreading COVID, or getting that misdemeanor. Stay home.
Rush hour doesn’t exist in Charlotte anymore. If the sun is out, you’ll be stuck in traffic somewhere.
We need and deserve a better way to move around the city.
Great turnout for
@MeckDems
Big Blue Breakfast this morning! Congrats to
@JordanALopez_
for Young Dem of the Year, which is well-deserved recognition for the Eastside's next NC House Rep!
When the NCDP’s SEC meets this weekend to elect our next leader, we’ll have the power and opportunity to decide what the future of our party will look like.
I hope my fellow SEC members will join me in voting for
@abreezeclayton
to be our next state party chair.
Senator Mohammed, you are easily the best example of what it means to be a public servant. Proud to have learned so much from you, and I look forward to serving the residents of House District 112 and Mecklenburg County with you!
In January of 2020, I brought on a young man that had just graduated from UNCG on the strong recommendation of my LA and some colleagues in the GA to join our Senate office.

I had a letter that I wrote to myself back in 2015 for after I graduated High School. I found it again, and reading it a couple days after graduating college all I can say is; dawg I’m so proud of myself.
Just here to remind you that Budd’s business received a $10 MILLION dollar PPP loan…. and it was forgiven.
Reasonable policy for the wealthy, but irresponsible when it’s for the rest of us I guess.
I just voted to overturn President Biden’s irresponsible student loan cancellation plan.
Make no mistake: This scheme transfers wealth from the majority of everyday taxpayers who don't hold a college degree, to wealthy elites who don't need a bailout.
Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting Eastway Middle School tomorrow to "highlight federal funding available for school-based mental health strategies under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act."
Trump told governors that America is the laughing stock of the world because of the protests... but not because of the rampant police brutality and racism??
100% intentional, and it harms high-poverty, high minority districts the most. In both urban and rural school districts.
The NCGOP does. not. care. about people.
North Carolina ranks near the bottom (48th out of 50 states) for K-12 public school funding in a new report from

.
This is a deliberate political choice by our lawmakers - not a financial necessity. Sorry, kids.

Hey I just got a whole degree in this political stuff so I’m somewhat familiar 🤓 if anybody ever has any questions about impeachment, or political issues in the future I might be ya guy
Young Dems are gearing up to do our part in electing Democrats up and down the ballot in November.
With 1.5 hours left to meet the $30k goal, we’re so close👌🏾Will you chip in to help? 👀
Enjoying a much needed vacation with the family! Yesterday we were in San Juan, today the Dominican Republic!
Can’t say I miss the cold weather in North Carolina right about now! 🌞
So the relief bill was needed for sure, for so many families and workers who are unable to work (and it’s still not enough)... but a MAJOR oversight was not including any payments to college students who were claimed as dependents in 2018.
The way police are actively proving our point by their behavior during these protests, and yet the media is still using the “property damage” narrative is wild, but unsurprising.
