I like Valerie Foushee, but we need a member of Congress who will put our interests first.

Updated 1/7

Voters need to read, see, and see on the go everywhere, but especially outside of Durham, that while they may like Valerie Foushee, we can’t trust her to put our interests first in this critical moment. Valerie Foushee won her election in 2022 by accepting over $3 million from Super PACs funded by AIPAC and the Israel and Crypto lobbies. Now, her campaign is bankrolled by corporate PAC checks from Big Banks, Big Pharma, and Big Tech. In the Congressional district that was the hardest hit by Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts, we need someone who answers to working people, not corporations and the wealthy.

Voters need to read and see on the go that County Commissioner Nida Allam works for working families—not billionaires and not corporate Super PACs. That’s why she helped deliver funding to support property tax relief, passed a minimum wage increase for County workers, and delivered the highest level of funding to our public schools in County history. She’s helped direct over a hundred million dollars towards healthcare for North Carolinians and in Congress, she’ll fight for Medicare for All to ensure we not only protect, but expand healthcare coverage for all of us. Allam is endorsed by Bernie Sanders.

Core Goals

• In weeks 4-2, voters need to read about the contrast between Allam and Foushee.
• In weeks 6-end voters need to see and see on the go the contrast between Allam and Foushee. 
• In the final weeks, voters should see messaging directly critiquing Foushee.
• Young voters and AAPI voters, even those who vote less frequently, need to turn out in this election

Key Targets

• Persuasion targets:
  • 45+ white Women 
  • White and AAPI voters
  • Medium and low propensity voters.
  • Voters under 45 still need to learn more about Allam and cannot be ignored.
• Mobilization:
  • voters under 45
  • AAPI voters 
  • These voters respond well to our broad messaging, Nida’s progressive policy platform, and endorsements in addition to contrast around Israel/Palestine.
