Monaca Williamson

In contrast to the incumbent, Monaca Williamson brings (relative) youth, a fresh perspective, and a genuine drive to pass meaningful legislation with a broader focus on key issues facing working families, affordability, education, and healthcare. She may not be the perfect replacement, but the incumbent's reluctance to mentor a successor has left us with a candidate strong enough to step up where others merely wait for retirement. That determination alone is worth supporting, and I'm willing to give Ms. Williamson two years to turn her promises into results for the district. For these reasons, I endorse Monaca Williamson in the Democratic primary as a step toward more dynamic and effective representation for the 12th District and North Carolina.
