NC Sen. Jeff Jackson video on GOP blocking of Medicaid. He. Is. SO. Good.

The guy has the ability to keep it easy to understand and keep it real. National Dems could benefit from his easy, logic-based approach.

We're having our state elections this year and Jim Hood, the Democratic candidate for governor, has a good chance. I hope the state will take that money and expand Medicaid here. It is sorely needed.

Jeff Jackson is so good at this. Obama WH could have used him during the ACA rollout.

then again, I live in the "Great State of Mecklenburg", which is a derisive term coming from most of the other 99 counties. Also, I must admit, outside of Governor Cooper, I couldn't tell you who is a politician outside of Charlotte. I should be more involved, but do support Dems at all levels.

This could be Gov. Roy Cooper's successor. And this would be #awesomesauce!

I didn't know he lived in Plaza-Midwood. I live just above Smith, and he is my state senator. Also, Becky Carney is my state rep. If I moved 1 street over, I would be in another district altogether.

could pursue her art during the day. She's from a very Agent Orange loving family, but since she's in the arts (and attends UCNSA now), I still hold out hope for her.
