REMEMBER: Don’t Forget Your Federal Picks
Everything from the future of the economy to the fate of the planet is on your ballot.
U.S. PRESIDENT (AND VICE PRESIDENT)
The United States’ chief executive determines the fate of our armed forces, appoints federal judges — all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court — and has the power to stop laws passed by Congress.
CONGRESS: U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
With the ability to make U.S. law and oversee federal agencies, Congress’ powers include investing tax dollars, military intervention, deciding who gets health care and environmental protections, and when to hold the President accountable — from appointments to impeachments.
Over 5.5 million North Carolinians cast a ballot during the 2020 General Election – nearly 72% of the state’s voting population, and the highest turnout in history. Let’s keep up that momentum and get all of our friends and family to vote with us!
